Hi! I'm taking an acting class at school and I'm having a hard time finding a ten minute scene for 2 females (preferably young).
Almost everything interesting we've found has been for male and female. Help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Samuel French's play catalog is listed by number of characters. The two-handers are near the front.

Do not overlook a scene buried in The Women by Clare Boothe (Luce) between the housekeeper and the lady's personal maid. It is a scene heavy on exposition, but it is two women putting their feet up at the end of the day and commenting about people and plot developments. They can be any age. I don't know the running time.

They're not young, but Mary & Elizabeth have a greate scene together in Mary Stuart. Not sure if it's ten minutes.
