This is yet another OMG!, I soooo neeeeed help choooosing a piece to do thread. I apologize ahead of time, but all the threads that I have come across focus on audition monologues. Does anyone have any ideas for a 5-10 minute dialogue that can be done by two teenaged females? Something well known or overdone is applicable in this case.

Something from the Crucible? That was the first thing that popped into my head.

You can do the tea scene between Gwendolyn and Cecily in The Importance of Being Earnest. They're supposed to be young adults but it can easily be done by teenagers. Its very funny.

the tea scene is great!!

i did it in an acting workshop with another girl -- if you get the style of "ernest" down, it can se really really funny!

Thank you all for your suggestions. I looked into the tea scene. All that's left to do is to convince my partner to do it, and to figure out the blocking. I know it's sacrilege to do something without reading the work, but I'm pressed for time since I need to have this done by Wednesday...would just working with interpretation of the text in that scene be enough, or is there some kind of depth that you can discover from reading the play. (I have some idea for the context of the scene, go Sparknotes...)
