An Actors Nightmare by Christopher Durang

George is an accountant who wanders onto an empty stage, not certain where he is or how he got there. The stage manager informs him he is the understudy and must go on in a few minutes. George doesn't know his name, doesn't think he is an actor ("I think I'm an accountant"), and has no idea what play he is supposed to do.
Pushed onstage dressed as Hamlet, George finds himself opposite a glamorous actress who seemingly is in Noel Coward's Private Lives. George does his best to guess the lines and guess appropriate behavior, but then the actress leaves and suddenly a new actor comes in spouting Shakespearean verse (from Hamlet). This is much harder to guess, and after a while George is left alone and must improvise his own Shakespearean soliloquy.

Armed Robbery for Dummies by Paul R Roman

Have you ever just needed a change? Well in the play Armed Robbery for Dummies by Paul R Roman, that is exactly how Frank felt. Frank has always lived the "safe" life. He has even been called "boring" by his friends. So tonight Frank has decided to make some changes, he changes the paint of his white wall, off white, but that's just not enough. So he decides to plan a robbery, but doesn't quite know all the ins and outs of it. He asks the advice of a parolee and boy do things change for everyone.
