"KNOW YOUR ROLE" & "OUR PLACE"
Actually Acting Youth Theatre

Written By: Brandi Owensby & Terry Gabbard
Directed By: Alicia Zorkovic with assistance from Brant Eustice

Know Your Role
No sooner do we leave the womb than we're bombarded by society's expectations about gender. If you're a boy, you're like this. If you're a girl, you're like that. Through scenes and monologues that range from hilarious to heartbreaking, this one-act explores how these expectations affect teens' daily lives. Whether it's how they dress, the rules of dating, body image, parental pressures or a host of other ways, the teens of this flexible ensemble reveal how gender expectations affect them and their "role."

Our Place
The unassuming location of a dock extending out onto a small lake serves as the backdrop for five different stories. The entire ensemble gathers on the dock together for the final scene. In a poetic epilogue, they all discover the true meaning of Our Place —both comedic and tragic.

Roles Available:
Know Your Role
Up to 16 young actors aged 14+ for this vignette play with multiple scenes, related by theme not storyline. Some scenes are comic, others are dramatic and other will make you think.
