Drama teachers and directors may use these one-act plays for free for educational purposes. Written by playwright Wade Bradford, this collection of short plays primarily includes comedies. Your young cast and students can hone their skills on these scenarios that include time travel, talking turkeys, and even a little romance. Each of Bradford's play scripts included here is royalty-free, so you can use them in your classroom or amateur theater productions without worry. Below you will also find a resource for radio drama scripts that can be used with character exercises that emphasize voice for action. '12 Angry Pigs' The 10-minute play "12 Angry Pigs" is a parody of the famous play "12 Angry Men . " It not only offers a humorous opportunity for actors of all levels, but it also provides a glimpse into the jury and justice system. Of course, there's a little allusion to "The Three Little Pigs" mixed in as well. The play is educational and accessible to a variety of students. "12 Angry Pigs" has been performed all over the world, including Argentina, Australia, Japan, and the Netherlands. 'Back to the Summer' Perfect for young performers, "Back to the Summer" is a quick and witty play that gives your class a lot of creative freedom. Add your own soundtrack, have students write jokes—do whatever you like to create a positive experience for your young actors. The premise of the play follows three friends who take a time machine back to the 1980s. This sets a chain of events in motion that stirs up historical figures from the golden age of pirates, the old West, and ancient Egypt. Even Thomas Edison makes a brief appearance. It is a fun romp through time that actors of all levels of experience will enjoy. 'A History of Messy Rooms' This short play for children is based on Wade Bradford's picture book "Why Do I Have to Make My Bed? Or, a History of Messy Rooms." What begins as a simple question turns into a history lesson that examines the lives (and chores) of children throughout the ages. In the play, the two main characters—Mom and Jamie—are visited by children from various eras. It is an easy, fun, short production that allows young actors to explore simple dialogue and action. 'Montana Jones and the Gymnasium of Doom' This play is written specifically for performers between the ages of 10 and 14. "Montana Jones and the Gymnasium of Doom" is a simple one-act comedy that kids of that age will relate to. Two friends sit at the bus stop, lamenting their boring life in a new middle school, wishing for the days when they could play at recess and make up pretend adventures. That's when Montana Jones, part-time explorer and full-time fool, swoops in, taking the kids on a journey to discover their school in a whole new way. 'Cinema Limbo' This two-person scene takes place at a movie theater box office. Therefore, "Cinema Limbo" requires just two office chairs for the stage set. Because of the romantic dynamics, this is a play that may make some teenagers uncomfortable. But such discomfort can be a part of all acting, and this piece may provide the opportunity for some students to experience working with more difficult material. The simple plot: Employees Vicky and Joshua are having a friendly conversation that suddenly turns romantic (despite the fact that she already has a boyfriend). 'Terri and the Turkey' The holiday play "Terri and the Turkey" tells the story of an unfortunate turkey that realizes that today is Thanksgiving. Guess who has a date with the chopping block? Lucky for him, the turkey meets a kind-hearted girl named Terri who wants to give him a second chance at life. Your drama students will get a chuckle out of the ending, so you might want to surprise them by doing the first reading aloud together. Radio Drama Scripts. The "Generic Radio Drama" website has created a wonderful list of classic radio drama scripts. Although radio drama and live theater are two very different art forms, these scripts can be excellent learning resources for focusing on voice and dialogue. Material exists from the following shows: "Abbot and Costello" "Flash Gordon" "Little Orphan Annie" "The Lone Ranger" These scripts are suitable for performances within the classroom environment. However, if you are thinking of staging a professional production, check out the website’s discussion about copyrighted material. Some of the radio scripts are now in the public domain, while others require permission. Free Games of the Fortnight — Cute games, football and Doom. I’m not a big fan of sports games, but I do like some dice! Dice Soccer City is a free mobile game in which you build a city, recruit footballers, and take on other teams through the power of dice! Each player has a six-sided die with different numbers on the faces, and during the three-on-three matches they roll these dice. If a team scores higher than the other team, they progress toward the goal and get to take a shot or take the ball from the opposition. The first team to score wins! Of course, there’s more to it than that, with players having special abilities tied to certain scores, and stamina to manage. Picking the right team is key to victory! Those victories earn you money and loot boxes that allow you to build up your town to attract players with better dice! Being free to play, there are the usual microtransactions that allow you to buy ‘cubes’ to rush building and get more coins for construction. The prices don’t seem too high, but expect the usual time gating mechanics. I’m having fun with this, and it’s certainly worth a look. You can grab Dice Soccer City on iOS. Dann Sullivan’s Pick: Territory Idle by Aleksandr Golovkin. I’m a sucker for games with a medieval setting, and that’s normally enough to pull me out of whatever genre comforts I’ve enforced upon myself. So, here we are. In Territory Idle I’ve been building an empire from the very first farm all the way to continental crossings. Territory Idle does all of the usual incremental stuff, you buy things until it takes too long and then force a restart to the world with some progression carrying over. In the case of this game it’s gold, you get a gold piece for each 10 production units you are creating. There’s a couple of resources, wheat, wood and faith, but most interestingly you’re buying tiles to expand your kingdom through the generations, and they persist too. Once you’ve got enough field workers you can restart to get some gold to buy some wood, that allows you to make farms which boost fields, etc. A few hours in and you’re building dockyards and sending heroes out (once a generation) to claim more land. It’s simple, especially in appearance, but is well balanced and quite easy to ignore for the time that you need to leave it resting. That’s about all I ask for in an idle game, and I’ve been enjoying expanding my empire (slowly) throughout the last day. You can download Territory Idle on Steam. Terry Jeffryes’ Pick: Mini Doom II by Calavera Studio. Take Doom , Make it 2D. That’s what the Original Mini Doom did. This completely remade that game, added more insanity, added features from the 2016 Doom and cranked it all up to 11. A frantic 2D shooter set in the Doom universe, with everything you would expect from a Doom game, just made on a 2D plane. Doom x Metal Slug as it were. Seventeen levels spread over a Mario World style overworld, all with branching paths, keys and secrets to discover. Fourteen weapons, covering all of the classics you know from the Doom arsenal. There’s a heavy metal soundtrack, including homages to the original tracks. It would not be Doom without it. It’s all here. Somehow both cute and disgusting at the same time, the graphics are chibified and slightly off, which is perfect for this self-styled parody game with satisfying explosions, giblets and blood spraying everywhere. Mini Doom II ‘s controls are as solid as you would expect from the genre, handling a lot like a Metal Slug game. Firing your weapon in four directions is possible, while you can change between weapons by using the right stick (like a modern FPS). There’s also platforming skills to be unlocked, like double-jumping. It’s a perfect meld of both old and new, and a pure joy to play. You can download Mini Doom II on the developer’s website. Bryan Taylor’s Pick: Ingeste by EX.ULT VIDEOTAINMENT. Ingeste is a mod of the Pico-8 version of Celeste . Abandoning wall-sliding and mid-air dashes for Kirby’s infinite flying ability makes Ingeste ultimately much easier in comparison, but it doesn’t abandon the challenge and fun of the original. The graphics are well-designed and cute and they even went as far as to replace the floating hearts from Celeste with Maxim Tomatoes from the Kirby universe — which are optional and compliments well Celeste ’s original philosophy of accessibility. Music is a chiptunes version of Green Greens from Kirby’s Dream Land and very well exemplifies the silliness of the game.
