Plays

I come from a family where music, art, writing, and acting are the norm. In acting classes, there is a need for a lot of dialogs: a short two-person play. I often have ideas for a dialog. So, I put them here. Feel free to take these dialogs and use them for your own acting practice. My goal is to have dialogs that require no costumes or props. There are a few moments where a small prop may be useful, but I purposely make it so you can mime all props easily.

I Scream

I wrote this with my daughter. It is a take on Monty Python's cheese sketch that is more relatable for the average person. A cusomter wants an ice cream cone. It should be simple to order one, right?

Essential Amenities

This is a take on the classic Shelley Berman's "A Hotel is a Funny Place." A guest doesn't want those miniature bottles of shampoo and conditioner. A simple request, right?

Disrepair

This is a slight exagerration of my experience trying to get the thermostat in my car fixed.

Big Jump

If you've ever worked in sales, you've had to help that one customer who just can't make a decision.

The Cake

What could go wrong if you order a cake to honor the passing of your very stupid dog? After writing this, I discovered it was very similar to a joke by comedian Jo Brand.

The Interview

Police investigator Alex is trying to get information out of a witness. This is a tad longer than other plays, written specifically because I was asked for a longer play.
