The American Revolution hits the small screen! Cameron is in detention after getting caught being “consciousness-impaired” during history class (aka, sleeping!) In order to win her freedom she must write a paper on the American Revolution, but can’t remember a single historical event. Luckily, her friend Jaime has the perfect solution….TV! But when Cameron points the remote at the classroom TV, expecting Netflix or Hulu, she instead finds LiberTV and the wackiest assortment of historical programming… there’s a Boston Tea Party soap opera called, “As the Tea Spills”, a Hamilton style “Battle Rap” music video, a reality show check in with the ladies called “The Real Housewives of the Revolution”, and a sitcom about crossing the Delaware called “Washington’s Creek” starring the general himself! There’s also a few news stories, a Family Feud style game show, a movie trailer and several advertisements, all which help Cameron finish her paper and gain her independence from detention!

Track and Field
Time: 75 minute full length of 40 minute one act
Cast: 5-26+ any gender
The wind in your hair, legs burning, arms pumping, trying to get ahead, doing everything it takes to win the race…but what if the real race isn’t run on a track? What if the thing you’re actually chasing is…your future?
It’s the last track meet of the year and as the athletes warm up for their events, they contemplate what lies ahead—for some it’s having enough extracurriculars or wracking up followers on social media or getting up the courage to ask their crush to prom. But for others, more serious obstacles lie ahead, and they’re much harder to jump over than a bunch of aluminum hurdles—from worries about leaving high school, to family troubles, to vicious rumors, to long distance relationships. Through a series of interconnected scenes, TRACK AND FIELD speaks to the fears and dreams of students leaving high school behind and making their way into the world, and reminds us all that sometimes the finish line is just the beginning.
