As much as I love David Ives, I've noticed that his stuff gets overdone when it comes to student directed one acts. But that's not saying you shouldn't look into him, as he is a great writer and incredibly funny.
Anyway, here's a few suggestions:
-
The Kill and
Cate Blanchett wants to be my friend on Facebook by Alex Broun
-
The General of Hot Desire and
A Day for Surprises by John Guare
-
Hurry! by Bridget Carpenter
(I directed this play last year and it was well received; but if you do check into this one, make sure you have a great cast. It's one of those shows where a miscast actor can fudge up the entire thing).
Also, if you Google ten to 30 minute one act plays, you can find playwright's personal sites (which sometimes will exclude royality fees, depending on the person).
Good luck, and happy searching! :)
