Same Room, Different Story

Same Room, Different Story

by Claire Broome

A teenager’s bedroom is important. It’s a place to hide, to consider choices, to reveal. And sometimes, it’s a place to practice the periodic table. Stories can be found under the bed, in a suitcase, in a box that may or may not hold body parts…

Same Room, Different Story is the ideal high school play, perfect for a class project or drama club. This vignette play explores relationships and situations that speak to today’s teens in a variety of genres with flexible gender roles.

Praise for Same Room, Different Story

Nancy-Jean Lahn
SDSS
We appreciated how the play addressed varied topics, sparking conversations about difficult subjects. The deliberate limitations of the set encouraged our imagination and creativity to bring the words to life. The set meant we coul use our black box classroom as a performance space, with minimal props required.

This was exactly what my students needed in this moment. They spent so much time in their bedrooms during the pandemic that it was easy for them to tap into these characters and their stories. These are appropriate for a high school audience without being corny. Throughout the vignettes there are plenty of emotions for students to tap into.
Drue Harris
Hughes STEM High School
A great piece for new actors. Students found it relatable and fun to perform. I love that there is a realness to the characters and situations.
