The Small Book of Short Scripts for Social Change

Writer Elemenopie Marie invites you to "get the attention of the apathetic masses in 15 minutes or less!" A veteran of 'No Shame Theatre' in Cedar Falls, Iowa, Elemenopie has the art of the short script down to a science - these scripts are specifically written as options for theatre and film students, as well as independent artists, to express their revelations about how unfair Western Civilization is to a wide array of people from various walks of life: the elderly, sex workers, and the working poor, to name a few. We get a glimpse of everything from tone policing to colonization from the point of view of a person socialized as a white woman in the American Midwest.

This text is not meant to be performed solely on stage as if the book itself were the basis for a play festival, it's more of a 'take what works and leave what doesn't' approach. It's the author's hope you find a piece which resonates with you and your company of thespians!!
