Willing to walk the plank for love, Roger immediately buys a ship, recruits a crew and even hires a pirate tutor, Long John Sliver, to show him the ropes!

One Act – “The Internet is Distract – Oh Look a Kitten!” This is a short 30 minute play about a student who only has twenty minutes to finish a paper on The Great Gatsby. The character just needs to check a few facts on the internet first... Unfortunately, the web is a nefariously wacky place where boxing cats, Facebook/Instagram lurkers, and pig-throwing games threaten to take over the character’s schoolwork, or worse. Will s/he finish the paper and escape with their life before the school bell rings? A high-octane comedy that explores the rabbit hole of distraction we all go down every time we go online.
SRMS Actors interested in participating in our Jr. Thespian One Act “The Internet is Distract -- Oh Look A Kitten! ” should come to the Drama Room on Wednesday August 18th 3-6pm to do cold reads of the script!
