A Few Hours From L.A.

This is an original ten minute drama-comedy written for my Playwriting class.

Main Idea

When Mel’s late childhood best friend pays her a visit ten minutes before her twentieth birthday, she is forced to confront her fear of letting her best friend’s memory go. 

Characters

Mel (20) - Typical college student. Definitely used to organize her Beanie Babies by color. 

Chelsea (19) - Not a ghost, but not human either. Probably used to try and eat her Beanie Babies. 

Information

Genre: Drama-Comedy

Setting: Bakersfield, CA

Staging Notes: While Chelsea is not technically in the room, she also 100% is. There’s nothing paranormal about Chelsea (or this play). Love–pure love–is what allows her to exist in this space. 

Script attached below.
