Three One-Act Plays is a combination of three one act plays
written and directed by Mr. David Alex, Mathematics Department.
The E-Mail
Conspiracy

An eleven character comedy, a mother secretly e-mail her daughter's friends and invites them over to prove to the father that ther is room in the house for a piano. The father, an eccentric artist, needs to have "absolute silence" and room "to create." His daughter is forced to play on a wooden keyboard. The friends invited include a tap dancer, a basketball player, two kazoo playing tennis players, and the school flag squad. The gathering ends in a glorious up uproarious concert. The set design encourages the room to appear small.
 
This show was selected as a showcase production at the
Illinois Theatre Association Theatre Festival in January, 2000.
