Math for Actors

A 20-minute two-hander, perfect for student directors.

KATE.
I'm so sick of all you actors and your drama and your emotions and your feelings and...what are you doing?

About the Play

Math for Actors
Available from Playscripts

Math meets mayhem when studious Kate agrees to tutor Keith, an arrogant actor who's more interested in Kate than in calculus. He shows up late, he's still in costume, and he doesn't know or care what the angle of inclination is. Answering such burning questions as how many actors it takes to screw in a light bulb, Math for Actors explores the relationship between art and algebra, and finds a common denominator.
RUNTIME: 20-30 minutes

SET: Minimal (a few props, two chairs, a table, perhaps a blackboard)

CASTING: 1W, 1M
