Ten-minute play. Kat is the cool kid nursing a hangover and heartbreak in a walk-in refrigerator in a summer camp cafeteria staffed by the kids who weren’t qualified enough to be lifeguards. Lily stumbles in needing to refill the crocks for the salad bar, and wants climb a few rungs on the social ladder.

Crock Of

Recommended by

  • The Depot for New Play Readings: Crock Of

    Seanan Palmero Waugh reveals a wide world in ten minutes. Set in a summer camp’s kitchen walk-in refrigerator, “Crock Of” plumbs veins of privilege, class, and gender. Pranks are played, tables turned, and hearts broken as Lily and Kat explore social power in a bland conversation about working the salad bar. With authentically rendered teen voices and emotional candor, “Crock Of” exposes the hollow values at the core of youthful angst. Strongly recommended for high school and college audiences.
