The story
The first day of school is always hard. But what if you woke up and had to do it again… and again… and again until you got it right? Would you just go through the motions, learn some new lessons and would you try to be proactive to change things for the better? This is what MEGAN has to deal with.
Producing it
Cast12 actors, and the ensemble can grow as large as you like. As written, 9 female and 3 male roles. You can change lines, roles and genders to fit your students.
SetHome and school areas that repeat three times.
TechA minimal unit set: a bed, a table, two chairs for a car, desks. Plan for alarm and bell sounds, slow-motion lighting, a dog costume quick change, and a spilled-juice shirt.
For your scene-stealersThe same day plays three times, a real acting challenge, with one actor doubling as a dog and a classmate, plus a spell-casting crossing guard.
