A best-seller as a traditional stage play, your favorite complaint department has now gone virtual! This virtual play is written specifically to be rehearsed and performed remotely, with every character in their own home! In this rapid succession of duet scenes, the virtual complaint department takes on some hysterical grievances — everything from Oreo icing to kleptomania and from songs stuck in the head to the price of cheese and on and on and on. It seems people will whine about anything! Could there be a glimmer of hope for anyone in charge of a complaint department?
With a clever concept of rotating each complainant into the staff position, each character not only airs their own grievances, but must also focus on someone else’s problem and assist them with their complaint. All the roles are extremely balanced to give everyone their moment to shine. Or, since no more than two people are ever seen simultaneously, extensive doubling offers actors the challenging fun of creating multiple characters.
With no set or costume requirements, your actors will have a blast rehearsing their duet scenes online with their co-actors. Then simply put all the scenes together and you have a fun and fast-paced one act that’s perfect to record and share!

The Psychic Promoter promises that Virtual Fortunes has the answers to all your questions, and testimonials from several past customers (who all look surprising similar!) reinforce the site as the one-stop, location for all your online psychic, palm reading, and fortune telling needs! A steady stream of customers has the psychic offering visions of the future for just a buck apiece. Dawn and her boyfriend Don ask about the results of a potentially career-changing phone call she’s about to get.
