About the Play:
This is a Test is a one-act comedy by Stephen Gregg.
You stayed up all night struggling
to prepare for a very important test with no review
sheets. On testing day the
nightmare begins: you
don't know any answers and the
teacher is crazy. Especially
recommended for school and contest use.
This is A Test
is a comedic nightmare about the pressures of school, tests, college
acceptance, competitive classmates and general teenage angst. As
the ticking clock reminds you, you have only 60 minutes to complete
this oh-so-important predictor of your future. But you didn't get the
review sheets, the teacher doesn't seem to like you, and your
classmates are blatantly cheating. Time is passing and the voices in
your head keep reminding you that though you may be having trouble
with the test, your personal life is far, far worse. Then you reach
the essay question. The good news is that it's an opinion essay. The
bad news is that it's in Chinese. And things aren't going to
get better…
A proven contest winner, This Is a Test has been
one of the most-produced one-act titles in High School Theatres for
more than 25 years.
Cast: 13 to 15 actors, female or male.
What people say:
"This Is a Test
is a play that begs to be messed with." Stephen Gregg
(any changes are acceptable per the author)
"This play remains a
perennial favorite with audiences of all ages! Who can't relate to
the idea of a killer test, and we've all had 'that teacher' - the one
who seems to dislike you no matter what. The levels of humor and
subtle shifts in time and place make this play entertaining and fun
to produce." Jennifer Pasko, Solanco High School,
Quarryville, Pennsylvania
