Pioneer Drama Service publishes “Insomniac Cybersociety”

Pioneer Drama Service has just released Stacey Lane’s Insomniac Cybersociety, a 40-minute virtual youth play specifically designed to be performed on Zoom, Teams, or other online video platforms. This dark comedy has an entirely gender-neutral cast of teenagers and simple prop and costume requirements. It is perfect for online summer camps and remote high school productions this fall. Looking for a way to cope with sleepless nights, Poppy creates the Insomniac Cybersociety as a safe online place for awake but tired teens confined to their bedrooms to pass the long night hours of sleeplessness. It's almost like going to a slumber party every night with virtual friends. Poppy strictly enforces the rules to the private chat room, but when Poppy's own diligence gives way to exhaustion and loneliness, she allows a new member to join who is not whom they seem to be. For a limited time, Pioneer is offering a free read of the full script to everyone who is signed up for their newsletter. For more about the play and information on how to order the low-cost virtual production package with streaming rights, go to www.pioneerdrama.com or call 1-800-333-7262.

Dramatic Publishing releases "Camelot and Camelittle"

Camelot and Camelittle is now available through Dramatic Publishing. In this large cast, full-length play for young audiences, spunky little Ruth dreams of being a Knight of the Round Table. But King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot and her other heroes laugh at her when she demonstrates her valor in a battle with a melodramatic lizard pretending to be a dragon. Humiliated, Ruth sets off to form her own queendom that is bigger and better than Camelot, bringing with her the lizard and a mule that she claims is a unicorn. Soon they are joined by a frog, who Ruth declares to be an ogre; a skunk, who she pronounces a wizard (because the skunk makes everyone disappear); and two kids, who she dubs her bravest knights. On their quest, they meet the enchanting Lady of the Lake, a bumbling Merlin, riddle-loving trolls, a vain unicorn and the evil sorcerers Morgana le Fay and Mordred, who have their own plan to outdo King Arthur.
