    I want to play Tree #1 so badly after reading this play. But maybe not a MacIntosh. Maybe a Honeycrisp. So maybe Tree #2. "There are no small parts" etc. has risen to a new level as Hayet deftly balances the delicate ego of teens with their surprises and slyness. This should be acted out before every first reading of a school play.

    Haha! What a great li'l nugget of a play. Hayet encapsulates the drama of High School Drama Club *perfectly* -- in just a couple of pages! This relatable play could translate easily for any audience, though -- it's not really about who gets to play Dorothy. It's about who *has* to play the tree.

    Hayet captured these kids, their speech and their responses, so perfectly! He's one of my favorite dialog writers on NPX. This is so so cute. This would be perfect for a classroom exercise in middle school or high school. And also perfect for a one-minute play festival.

    A brief piece focused on and for actors who know how to control their own narrative, who take Stanislavski's notion of "No Small Parts, Only Small Actors" a little too seriously, who believe in creating a character-bio a bit too much, or get lost in Hollywood mythos or fan-fiction...or just maybe know how to con their way up the ladder. This would easily work in any short comedy festival, or one themed around acting, theatre-making, movie-making, or the countless urban legends surrounding the classic film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'.

    Love the actor dedication showcased in the characters of this play. I laughed about a million times in these two brief pages, Hayet has a way with quick and clever dialogue.
