A mean witch dares a frilly little fairy to prove there's such a thing as happiness. So the fairy brings a scarecrow to life and promises to make him a real man if he can find happiness. It's a strange search, sometimes comical, sometimes sad. The scarecrow meets a variety of characters, each providing an insight into human relations as well as excellent roles for your actors and actresses. The scarecrow's search evokes a little smile, a little fright and perhaps a little tear. What is happiness? Philosophers have struggled with this question for centuries. But sometimes answers are found by simple people with humble aims.

You, the Jury

You, the Jury

By Anne Coulter Martens.
You, the Jury

Product Code: Y12000

One-act Play
Recommended For: Middle School | High School
Cast Size: 7m., 5w. (extras.)

Livestream and Record & Stream Rights Available

Approx. Run Time: 45 min.

This jury play has unusual audience appeal in that members of the audience are summoned as jurors and their verdict actually does determine the outcome of the trial. Bill, a college student holding a number of part-time jobs, is accused by one of his employers of the theft of an unsealed envelope containing three $100 bills. He doesn't deny that he had access to the money. The witnesses called to testify for Bill are contradictory. It is a fine play with illuminating overtones on law and circumstantial evidence.
