Synopsis: When it comes to fast food, people are particular – very particular. In this quick succession of quirky customers, the Order Up! restaurant takes on everything from weird food allergies to fanatical health inspectors and the fear of eating to potty dancers and on and on and on. Could there be a moment of sanity for anyone who works behind this fast-food counter? With a clever concept of rotating customers and workers in and out, each role is very balanced to give everyone their moment in the spotlight. Or, since no more than four people are ever onstage simultaneously, extensive doubling offers actors the challenge of creating multiple characters. With extremely simple production needs, this fun and fast-paced one act can be performed just about anywhere and is a clever contest piece.
