Any good one act comedy plays for high school play festival?

Question

The theme of the play for our year level is comedy. Do you have any suggestions?
I've also been looking for the script of Persephone by Ford Ainsworth but it's not available online.

Easy to use links that will help with all your research needs, try typing a keyword or two into the search engine and see what happens.

Due to some weirdness with Answers, I have to write the links in a disjointed way. They do work, all you have to do is cut and psate and join up the gaps.

Answer 2

These have probably been done to death, but look into the short plays of David Ives and Christopher Durang. I've also seen, read, and directed one-act comedies by Frederick Stroppel ('A Chance Meeting' is my favourite) and Aaron Sorkin ('Hidden in this Picture').

In high school, we did a production of 'A Thurber Carnival', a series of skits based on the writings of James Thurber (if you've not heard of him, he's a classic American humorist). Any of those would be a great addition to your festival's line-up; you could even do several and space them out over the course of the festival (like between other shows).

You can also do a different take on comedy: try an absurdist comedy (Eugene Ionesco has written several one-acts), or perform scenes from one of the Greek or Roman comedies.

I've found some great gems by going through collections of one-acts. Check out a performing arts bookstore (if you have one near you), or the drama section of your local bookstore or library.

Also try searching one of the websites of play publishers (you should be able to sort for one-acts and comedies):
