I need to find three scenes for two women (early 19-23 years old) for a college acting class. The scenes must be part of whole plays so that they can be studied in context. They also can't have any accents. Any experienced theatre students out there who might know the names of some plays that would fit these criteria?

The grade is just for acting them, not finding them, so outside assistance is most welcome. If you don't know any plays that would fit, are there ways to search for this?

From the syllabus:
"Select plays or film scripts from Modern American Realism, from the early 20th Century to the present. No dialects. Your character should be one you can believably play at the present time. The age of the character should be close to yours. Scene should show two characters directly engaging with each other, in conflict with one another, actively dealing with one another. Avoid material where one character is detached or aloof from the other. Scene must have a definite beginning, middle, and end. Scenes should run 3 to 4 minutes.... You must be able to obtain the complete play or film script..."

Hmm. No dialects eh? Pity.
Bye the bye, I think your teacher is either lazy or inept==should have provided you with a list of plays or the scenes. Shhhessh.
Find the play Stage Door, a real oldie. I wonder if you can get away with Shakespeare which does not require an accent--As You Like It--for example Threre is a play called Nine Girls also. Try Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean.
