    Default Stripper One Act Play

    Ive been invited to collaborate on a one act play about two strippers.

    Any ideas towards this?

    I had thought the set could be the dressing room (pretty easy to do, plus a motive for entering and exiting the scene)

    Id appreciate any input :-)

    The "overheard in the dressing room" thread should give you tons of ideas. That thread is a scream man.

    A lot of it is TOO risqué for the theatre group. Believe me there's plenty Id LOVE to put in, but cant!

    How about making up a story about a new girl coming in to start, and a veteran dancer taking her under her wing and showing her the ropes. That way you can sort of explain all the shit girls have to deal with, and show how they help each other too...sprinkled with some girl talk and a little drama.

    I'm a writer, Sexy--I don't know if the same rules apply to plays as to novels, but my instinct would be to go with the traditional story set-up--that you start with a character who has a quest, a question; your character or characters move through a trial; then there is some sort of resolution--some realization on the part of the characters or the readers or viewers. So if we go with HockeyBobby's premise, of one seasoned stripper in a dressing room, talking to one newbie, maybe you could have the newbie asking for some practical advice on some aspect of dancing which she is nervous about...maybe how to handle men in a certain situation...and the seasoned dancer might be responding to her but we gradually realize that there is something, personally, with a man, that the seasoned dancer has just gone through, and perhaps is too proud to talk about. And the younger dancer catches on to this, and is able to supply a moment of relief for the older dancer...see what I mean? As far as what issue might be in the air between them, my instinct would be to take something directly from your own life that has moved you, or something you've seen in another dancer's life.

    I'm not sure if this makes much sense. I hope it is a help.
