Most of the pieces are two-handers, some serious, some comedic. By design, the format is simple and flexible, allowing for effective classroom performances without sets or props, and with a minimum of stage business. Importantly, each play can also serve as the foundation for a variety of creative interpretations-an excellent starting point for classroom discussions and critiques. Beyond the classroom, the collection is a valuable resource for community theater and off-Broadway groups planning an evening of one-act plays. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when theaters went dark, there were live readings of each of these plays on Zoom.
