Tonight, my high school theater class presented two one-act comedy plays. The first,
The Big Black Box, only had two actors, neither of which was me. The only one who was actually on stage for that did an excellent job, as did the one reading lines into a microphone from offstage (voicing the Box).
The play in which most of the students acted was
A Simple Task. There was one main character, a new hire ordered to simply pick up a box of merchandise. However, a series of confusing and strange characters blocked her access to the box. This was not helped by the fact that her boss kept changing identities.
I played one of the bosses (the only instance that reappears) and one of a set of three military-style guards, the role during which I got to tackle the main character.

Both plays went very well, with a minimum of skipped lines and no detectable awkward pauses.
