silent movie 2

Bob Naquin
15 minute silent comedy
3 Men and 3 Women

The perfect seat in a movie theatre has the right combination of being near a desired person, within reach of the popcorn, and a clear view of the screen. Achieving all three takes strategy. Watch as these seniors work out this puzzle without saying a word.

Since there are no lines to remember, this excellent script allows actors and actresses to broaden their acting horizons as they convey different emotions. The actions they have to follow are described in the script, but how they are conveyed is different and more hilarious on every practice or performance.

You will be surprised what people will do once the burden of remembering lines is removed. This is a great script to remove the ‘I can’t act’ attitude from any person and a great training vehicle for actors of any skill level. It will soon become one of your group’s favorites.
