A CONCORD THEATRICALS TITLE
Full-Length Musical, Drama / 4w, 5m
Sam Willmott
The dreaded high school tradition of standardized testing gets the musical treatment in this hilarious and touching story of eight compulsive teenagers. Over the course of one test, they manage to create and destroy friendships, learn to express their individuality, and sing and dance like maniacs. Progressing through the format of a test structure with a Multiple Choice portion consisting of solos, a fifteen minute break spoken in real time, and a Free Response section where songs build and overlap, the students expose their deepest concerns, aspirations, and sources of suburban teen angst.
The proctor/teacher 'Mr. Richards' may be performed as 'Mrs. Richards.' Transposed versions of her songs are available. This show was originally intended to be a strictly nine-character ensemble piece where every cast member was intimately involved in the show’s plot, music and overall structure. If your production necessitates a larger cast, however, an additional chorus of test takers can be included to participate in the group numbers. Mr. Richards - Male, mid-40s Theatre teacher. Alberto Suarez - Male Bathrobe-wearing, parallel-universe-dwelling fantasy buff. An adolescent Don Quixote. Danny Vitale - Male The only boy on the dance team. A gender non-conformist. Sydney Wabash - Female Tyler's girlfriend. Fakes her maturity and world-liness. Darryl Walton - Male A dude. Tyler Wilkins - Male Sydney's oblivious boyfriend. Has severe A.D.H.D. Annie Williams - Female A student at Holy Child Ladies' Academy, taking the test at her base high school. Claire Youmen - Female Manipulative, but only somewhat-popular, gossip queen. Estella Zambuleski - Female '-- who knows?
