The story

When a team of hard-working students is assigned a crucial group project, they must suffer through a revolving door of eccentric, outlandish and uniquely unhelpful members. From the control freak to the procrastinator, the conspiracy theorist to the motivational speaker wannabe, this chaotic comedy of collaboration shows the absurdity of getting everyone on the same page! Will they pull it together before the deadline, or will their project become a legendary fiasco?

Producing it

Cast10 to 21 actors, with doubling. Many roles can be played by any gender. You can change lines, roles and genders to fit your students.

SetClassroom, a garage and a home, alternating.

TechUnit set with chairs and light shifts, no scene changes. Plan for spotlight freezes, a doorbell, whistles and phone sound cues, colorful character costumes, and a tray of food on stage.

For your scene-stealersA core team of six plus a deep bench of one-scene comic cameos, a meltdown monologue and a repeating chorus that gives the ensemble a strong rhythm.
