Career Day

by Art Shulman

Genre: Comedy
Runtime: 75 mins
Cast: 3 females, 5 males, 6 any

Synopsis: There's a plastic surgeon, a garbage man, a historian, a homemaker, a French dry cleaner, a hangman, a philosopher, a lifeguard, an orthodontist, and a circus worker. And to add to the Career Day excitement the assistant principal performs her own unusual brand of stand-up comedy, and the school's ditzy cheer coach demonstrates with zeal her cheerleading skills. All this takes place while the mystery of who is tagging the school with graffiti remains unsolved.

Notes: Career Day utilizes a series of monologues, giving many actors an opportunity to "œtake the stage." It is easy to produce and requires only chairs for staging.
