The mandatory psychological assessment of a corporate CEO does not go according to plan.
Genre: Comedy
Acts: One
Time: 10 minutes
Characters: 2
Setting: Modern day; a counselling office within a corporation
Inspiration: The playwright is unashamed about her love of the Teletubbies. She thinks organizations would run better (and life in general would be more pleasant) if people followed a Teletubbies lifestyle. This short play shows how it might impact a large corporation. Big hug!
Royalties: Yes
Productions: The play was first performed at Theatre Canmore’s 10-Minute Play Festivus: Theatre for the Rest of Us (March 2018). Judy McFerran starred as the CEO and David Cheoros starred as the psychiatrist. Laura Raboud directed this Northern Sabbatical Productions offering.
The play was then performed at Stage Struck (Alberta Drama Festival Association, April 2018) where Judy McFerran won a best performer award.
