A Short Stuff Contest Submission
Logline: Money is tight, work is rough, and Angel just ripped his last pair of tearaway stripper pants. When three college students come across a wallet with over $6,000 inside, their morality is pushed to its breaking point, and they must decide what is more worth it: doing the right thing, or making rent?
Content Disclosures: Mentions of drug use, mentions of sex work, theft, and swearing.
Casting/Playwright's note: This script is intended to be cast with a full Latin cast; otherwise, an entire person of color cast if not enough Latine actors are not available. Script is a fast-paced comedic romp.Â
I really enjoyed this peice! I thought the stakes and relationships between the characters was quickly and efficiently set up before the conflict was introduced, which kept me engaged throughout the quick paced conflict. I thought the dialogue read very naturally, and the plot followed a realistic and grounded arch. Good work!
Engaging and well paced. Well done!
