Math for Actors by Emily C. A. Snyder

Comedy
|
20 - 30 minutes
1 W, 1 M, 
Set: Minimal: a few props, two chairs, a table, perhaps a blackboard.

Math meets mayhem when studious Kate agrees to tutor Keith, an arrogant actor who's more interested in Kate than in calculus. He shows up late, he's still in costume, and he doesn't know or care what the angle of inclination is. Answering such burning questions as how many actors it takes to screw in a light bulb, Math for Actors explores the relationship between art and algebra, and finds a common denominator.
