One act play

A one act play, or more commonly "one act", is a short play that takes place in one act or usually one scene as opposed to the more common plays that takes place over a number of scenes in one or more acts, such as Shakespearean productions. They tend to be simpler, have less props and scenery, as well as few cast members (sometimes only one). It is not uncommon for one acts to be showcased in a series. They are ideal for highschool or college drama students as well as small venues and dinner theaters. An example of one act plays would be all the plays in David Ives's book All in the Timing.
