Synopsis: At first glance, this is a typical family comedy: teenage James and girlfriend Karen try to make out one afternoon, only to face repeated interruptions by other members of James' family. But the ultimate interruption comes when a cell phone goes off in the audience, breaking the "fourth wall" so that James can see the spectators. As James tries to convince his increasingly worried family that a wall is missing from their house, and that people are watching them, the play takes more left turns than Bugs Bunny should have taken at Albuquerque -- until it reaches a happy (if twisted) ending. | ||||

Synopsis: When Mrs. Causey's high school drama students botch their scene performances due to inadequate preparation, their teacher casts a spell that makes them live out their roles for twenty-four hours. We follow the antics of two surfer dudes trapped in their own version of Waiting for Godot, a football player and a cheerleader spouting neo-Elizabethan blank verse a la Romeo and Juliet, and a shy girl and a Gothic girl morphing into N'Awleans-drawling denizens of A Streetcar Named Desire ... until these experiences teach them that, when it comes to acting, the readiness is all. | ||||
