I have written a number of plays for play festivals, as well as read through hundreds of plays on the internet, and I realized there is gap in the publishing industry where good authors struggle to get their plays published. So I have created an online play publishing company that will publish and sell plays!

It is told from the son’s perspective as the events unfold in front of him. The mother, father, daughter and her Pilot boyfriend are active participants in the son’s simply told story. Great example of short one act dramas.

THE APPOINTMENT WITH GOD – A ONE ACT FAMILY DRAMA

This is a one act family drama about a husband and wife who have moved to the USA in order to attain ‘the good life’ and yet live past each other, remaining happy in their own little worlds. All seems to be going as normal when Frank receives a mysterious phone call. He is not exactly sure who it is that called him and set a very important appointment for later the very same day. He is told it is a matter of life or death that he is at the appointment, and so reluctantly he agrees and cancels his golf game to be there. June, his wife, who tends to be a bit self obsessed and materialistic, assumes it is a big promotion from work with a great move and loads more money. Little do they know who really called that day…

Shapeless – a full length one act dark satire about body size

April 3, 2013 Demmer Dewan Leave a comment

SHAPELESS – A FULL LENGTH ONE ACT PLAY

Shapeless is a full length one act play within a play about body image and eating disorders. In this play, four actors are trying to put on a comedy play that deals with body size and shape. Each actress is of a particular size – there is a slightly anorexic girl, a girl with a medium figure and one that is quite overweight. The male character, Mike has written the script and in the play that he has written, he highlights those things that ‘aren’t talked about’ in society, openly mocking the very large and the very thin. The characters bring their own personal experiences and angst to their performances which leads to a build up of tension between the girls as they begin to run each other down ‘in the play’ but start taking it personally in real life. Although the script the players are putting on is comedic, I would class this play as a drama or a very dark satire.

SHAPELESS was produced by Weird Sister Productions at the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto and had a very successful run there. Then it was produced again for the National Eating Disorder Awareness Week at the Robert Gill Theatre in Toronto.

THE CONDITION – ONE ACT DRAMEDY SCRIPTS

In this art festival style play set in a park, Roger, the central character is constantly harassed by various members of the public, some of whom he knows and some of who he is meeting for the first time. Each character that joins Roger in this one act drama script, interacts with him in a way that allows Roger to reflect on his own life and who he is. Many of the characters are humorous in their outlook on life, in contrast to Roger. As the play culminates with a twist, the audience will get to understand exactly why Roger is where he is and who the man inside is.

This one act drama play is ideal for festivals as it requires minimal set and is largely dependent on the skill of the actors.

As they get talking, each of the girls reveal that they are addicted to the same virtual gaming platform.

However, through some mid-air mishaps the online rivalry is forgotten and the girls forge a friendship despite their virtual animosity. One act comedy plays for four actors.

The Mistress of Wholesome – one act comedy script where ‘Mistress’ takes on ‘Wife’

February 27, 2013 Demmer Dewan 1 Comment

THE MISTRESS OF WHOLESOME – a one act comedy script where ‘mistress’ takes on ‘wife.’

In this one act comedy script, Gwen, ‘the mistress’ surprises Margaret, ‘the wife’ of Leland, a prominent cardiologist in their home and holds her hostage using an antique musket. According to Gwen, Leland has now fallen back in love with Margaret as the couple has gotten closer in their efforts to adopt a baby. Gwen is naturally ‘very put out’ by this and wants Margaret to convince Leland to fall back in love with his mistress so that things can be the same as they were for the past few years. Margaret, who is desperate for a baby sees Leland playing ‘the good and attentive husband’ as the only way that she will ever manage to adopt a child and naturally refuses.

Things get even more complicated in this one act comedy script when a lady from the adoption agency arrives to interview Leland and Margaret and to screen them as potential parents. When it turns out that Leland is actually locked in the trunk of Gwen’s car across town, the two women must act fast to salvage a situation that is going downhill at a rate of knots!

The Mistress of Wholesome has been staged at the Little Theatre of Alexandria and at Under St. Marks in New York City. Read about playwright Jacob Appel

Author: Jacob Appel

Type: One Act Play

Genre: Dry character driven one act comedy script

Length: Approximately 60 minutes

Number of Actors: 3F, three women

Ages of actors: 20’s – 40’s – the two main characters are in their late thirties and the social worker is in her 20’s.

Suitable for: All ages

Level of Difficulty: 7/10 – character driven comedy – both the main characters are hardened women with very dry tongues and it is the way the lines are delivered that makes this play so funny.

Set: The entire play takes place on the lower story of Margaret & Leland’s upscale condominium/townhouse: a living room with attached kitchenette. Sliding glass doors run along the back wall of the condo, opening onto a spacious patio; while most of the patio cannot be seen, one might consider placing a few potted plants behind the glass to remind the audience of what lies beyond. A front door opens at stage right. The living room is furnished in the modernist style (sofa, coffee table, Barcelona chairs, end table with lamp and telephone), but the space appears cold and austere, with few personal effects. In a corner of the living room, a framed painting conceals a wall safe; alternatively, a free-standing safe is visible. The kitchenette appears immaculately clean and well-ordered, as pristine as a model kitchen in a showroom.

ROAD RAGE – A ONE ACT COMEDY PLAY

In this one act comedy play, a woman knocks and enters a man’s office, making sure she has the right person and indicating she is a messenger. He shows his annoyance and, in a silly charade, pretends he is not who she is looking for, but it turns out she is not who she says she is. Eventually, she reveals who she is and why she is there and takes him through various stages of emotion, eventually taking the audience by surprise and leading to a dramatic climax.

Leonard has written about a dozen full length plays and somewhat more one act plays. Some have won prizes: full length plays “Laramie, Equal Rights” and “Clara” won awards at the Shoreline Readers Theater, 2009 and 2010, in Washington State. “Road Rage” and “Apartment 4G” won in the 2010-2011 “Ink to Boards” One-Act Play Competition at Wildfire Arts. Several plays have been produced locally in the Seattle, Washington and in New York are others have been read at writers’ workshops, and some at festivals.

Nuns – a two-act satire about rebellious nuns running riot

February 6, 2013 Demmer Dewan Leave a comment

NUNS – A TWO-ACT SATIRE

Bongs, chain smoking, liquor, sex tapes, blackmail, and a desire to change the system. No, it’s not college, it’s a convent! Three corrupt nuns use blackmail and foul play in an effort to change the patriarchy to which they have devoted their lives. With the use of an illicit sex tape starring none other than Mother Superior herself, the kinked chain of events begins to unfold. When you deal with the devil, be prepared to get burnt.

Nuns is a two-act satire about three rebellious Nuns and how they plot to overthrow the mother superior in order to establish smoking rights for themselves. The youngest, Sister Bernadette is being seduced into the cause by Sister Catharine and Sister Roza during one of their secret smoking sessions. They have a secret that they believe will bring the Mother superior to her knees.

A ten minute version of Nuns was first done as a performance reading for Crash Test Drama 2009. After winning it’s initial round it went on the finals and came forth. Nuns(10 minute version) was submitted to Short and Sweet 2010 and was listed in the Top 100 plays. Celia Kelly won best newcomer award for her roles in Pride and Prejudice in 10 minutes and her role as Sister Bernadette in Nuns.

What’s on your mind? A comedy of the absurd

January 30, 2013 Demmer Dewan 1 Comment

comedy of the absurd

WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND – a comedy of the absurd

Seven zany characters converge on the living room of an ordinary middle class house. All the characters are written as humorous over the top caricatures of normal people. Throughout the play, the fact that many of the characters have been “at” the local Sanitorium, “Sidcup” is mentioned.

The play begins when a young man, Joseph, brings a rumpled middle aged man, Ethelbert to his home, where both his parents and wife, Lanny, a professional wrestler live. Both Joseph and Ethelbert have been “at” Sidcup. From the start, it is obvious that Ethelbert does not want to be there. All Ethelbert wants to do is to go back to Sidcup to find his missing shoes. Ethelbert is then thoroughly alarmed to find that Joseph’s wife, thinks that Ethelbert is her previous husband, “Bertie. ” Joseph’s parents, Maxine and Elmer also appear to be completely mad and alarm Ethelbert further.

When a young couple, Theo and Ruthie arrive at the house, it adds confusion to the mayhem. Theo grew up in the house and wants to show it to Ruthie. Little does he know that his mother, Maxine still lives there with her new husband, Elmer.

This play won the Eastern Illinois University New Play Competition last year (under the former title ‘THE ROAD TO SIDCUP’) and was subsequently performed as a staged reading at Eastern.

I SHOULD TELL YOU – A COMEDY IN TWO ACTS

In this hilarious comedy in two acts, Trent Steele, a millionaire, is looking to buy the Grand Palace Massage Parlor with the intention of leveling the whole historic block that its on so he can put up one of his state-of-the-art skyscrapers. Well, Trent likes to deal only in cash which opens up an opportunity for Cory, a petty con artist, and Kaelan, his scheming bookie, to make some money. Cory poses as Trent when arriving at the Grand Palace to get Penny, the manager, and Lupe, the head masseuse, out of the way. Once this is accomplished Cory poses as the owner of the parlor when the real Trent arrives in order to get his hands on the cash. Things go awry when a nosey reporter obsessed with Trent shows up and figures out the scam when Cory tries to pass himself off as the man that she is determined to get her big story on. Trent’s dumb body guard and wife also tag along on this business further complicating matters. The one thing no one counted on was Trent pulling out a gun and going slightly crazy once his briefcase full of cash disappears. Hijinks and slap stick comedy ensue as everyone tries to get their hands on the money.

The Scepter has Departed – a Jewish drama play script in two acts

December 5, 2012 Demmer Dewan 1 Comment

Jewish drama play script

THE SCEPTER HAS DEPARTED – A JEWISH DRAMA PLAY SCRIPT

The year is 1937 – before world war two erupts in Europe and anti Jewish sentiment is rife. Hitler is gaining power and the persecution of the Jews has begun. Millions of Jews from around Europe have fled their homelands in Poland and Lithuania and moved back to Jerusalem, the city of their forefathers. Tension is high from the Arab population in Palestine leading to the Arab riots against immigrant Jews. The British Balfour Declaration has increased pressure on both the British and Palestinians to obstruct Jewish presence in Palestine.

At a Tipat Chalav in one of Jerusalem’s Jewish neighborhoods, Jewish militants of the Irgun meet to discuss their ongoing response to the Arab riots. A new arrival from Lithuania who has made aliyah is instructed about the many concerns confronting his new organization.

Then the murders begin. A “non – Zionist” Rabbi is murdered, and a grenade is thrown into a bus full of Palestinian civilians. The British capture some of the militant Jews responsible for the attacks and they are sentenced to death.

“The Scepter has Departed” , a Jewish drama play script, explores all sides of this age old conflict, asking the question, “Who is right and who is responsible?”

Author: Sterling Cullipher

Type: Two act Play

Genre: Political Drama – Jewish drama play script

Suitable for: All ages

Ages of actors: Adult

Number of actors: 19, 18M, 1F

Length of play: 90 minutes

Set: There are a number of scene changes from a number of simple rooms, to a bar, a warehouse, a market place and a prison. The changes can be simply accomplished by changing basic furnishings in the room and alternating sides of the stage that are used.

Level of Difficulty: 9/10 This play has a lot of dialogue, so keeping the focus of the audience is important. It also deals with a sensitive issue which should be dealt with respectfully.
