A squirt gun would never be mistaken for a real gun, right? Dive into the thought-provoking world of Water. Gun. Argument and challenge what we choose to believe. A thought provoking and powerful piece in a docu-theatre style.

Scenes from a Quarantine

Scenes from a Quarantine

by Lindsay Price

Did you know COVID-19 likes to be known as Co? And what if Romeo and Juliet missed their marriage by one day because of a stay-at-home order? Would they still make it?

You know all the people in Scenes From a Quarantine. The person who thinks quarantine is going to be easy. The person whose life changed overnight. The person who thinks hairdressers are an essential service. The person who just wants to use class meetings to talk.

This vignette style play can be easily performed using an online platform and has a variety of scenes to address all student skill levels.

Praise for Scenes from a Quarantine

Teri Shea
Cameron Middle School
It was perfect for a quarantine play. Kept my middle school students engaged online with each other. We were able to practice their acting skills and build community.
Brian Lyke
Kenai Middle School
After producing Price's 'Box', I knew I could trust her to write something witty and poignant, with just enough laugh-out-loud moments to satisfy my middle school audience of students, parents, and teachers. Lots of compliments - I couldn't have done it without Lindsay Price!
Noah Hicks
M.M. Robinson High School
Lots of great opportunities for students to stretch themselves as actors. Some wonderfully funny and poignant moments. A great play for this time.
