Hi! I am presenting a workshop for a university and would like to do a few screwball comedy scenes (man and woman) but am having a hard time coming up with plays... my initial ideas were of the likes of 'Bringing up Baby' and 'It Happened One Night', but those are of course movies (:

Anybody have any genius ideas??? I'm rather ignorant when it comes to plays... know my musicals though (: Thanks.

Good idea. The play you might want to look for by them is "Lovers and Other Strangers", which has a number of scenes that you can do. My favorite is Johnny and Wilma.

The House of Blue Leaves by John Guare. The first scene between Artie and Bunny.


If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Just about anything from Owl and the Pussycat.
