The teachers’ lounge, the forbidden realm that
students think is a plush paradise — in this play the
students find out it’s a pit. After hours, they sneak in
and joke mercilessly about their teachers: Mr.
Chromedome and Grouchy Grundy. They rifle the
trash in vain looking for test forms and almost get
caught when the janitors arrive. Then they imagine
what the place is like in action. They role-play their
teachers with hilarious results. Funny characters. Easy
to stage with only one set.

What? A mean and nasty Cinderella? After her father’s
death, Cinderella becomes an obsessive-compulsive,
grumpy, clean freak. Her kind stepmother and
stepsisters are unable to comfort her. When invited with
her sisters to the Ball, Cindy refuses to attend. Instead,
she sneaks in and shoots her slingshot from the
parapets, spills juice on the Duchess, cuts the drapes,
smashes pumpkins and more. She is wickedly
impertinent and unsympathetic to the Prince’s grief over
the loss of his father, but the kindly Prince turns Wicked
Cindy around. He comforts her grief! A delightful
turnabout — Wicked Cindy becomes sweet Cindy. Lots of
dramatic action between the tears and laughter. Easy to
stage with two simple sets, four scenes.
