Tracks

Customer Reviews

"Easy show to put in a black box, main stage, or even a simple classroom."

Review by Natalie Dommer, Pasadena Memorial High School, Pasadena, Texas

"If you are looking for a show that can come together easily and in a short amount of time, with a single-location set, and meaty, heartfelt moments that students can really sink their teeth into, then this is the show for you!"

Review by Maegan Kennedy, Aubrey High School, Aubrey, Texas

"Tracks was an excellent show for our small school cast as each character is able to quickly and easily display his/her personality. There's enough humor to keep it light, but the heaviness of the subject was appreciated by our high school students, and they were able to appreciate the seriousness of the subject. The set can be as detailed or abstract as it needs to be; it travels well, and the play needs little to no accessorizing."

Review by Robert Wesley Martin, Northwestern Local Schools, West Salem, Ohio

"This show left our audience in deep thought. It was fairly inexpensive to produce. The set was easy for my beginning Tech Theatre class to construct and the costumes all came from closets. The distinct characters all had specific needs and because the stakes were so high, we were able to sharpen our Troupe’s acting skills to the next level. The topic led to great rehearsal discussion - no matter what each student believed. We took this play to competition and scored a Superior! This play is memorable and solid in challenging us to make moments count through life’s brevity."

Review by Lizzy Brannan, Cornerstone Charter Academy, Belle Isle, Fla.

"Tracks is great one act for inclusion in a night of performances or to be used as a competition or festival piece. It is easily staged, and can be effectively produced with simple contemporary costumes and three benches. It is a perfect show for a student director because of its clear story and accessible characters."

Review by Christopher Pankratz, Flowing Wells High School, Tucson, Ariz.

"Tracks was a thoughtful and exciting show to produce. It gave each performer a meaty role to research and they could make bold acting choices based on their character analysis. It was a wonderful, thought provoking, and interesting show and we had a lot of positive comments from our audiences on how much they enjoyed the story and the "open" ending led to many discussions!"

Review by Lea Marshall, Leon High School, Tallahassee, Fla.

"An existential experience for students and audience. This play shows us how to examine the choices we make in life and how we need to be responsible for those choices even after we die."

Review by Kate Trongale, Castle Park High School, Chula Vista, Calif.

"A great ensemble piece for any high-school theatre group! The theme is great for explorations and discussions regarding death and the afterlife."

Review by Rassika Malhotra-Risko, Governor Simcoe Secondary School, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada

"What a concept! Great chance for actors to create some strong, individual characters. Script makes you think and has a poweful story line."
