THEATRE TEACHERS - I NEED YOUR BRAINPOWER!

I'm on the hunt for the perfect 15-minute play to use in a hands-on technical theatre summer workshop, and I want YOUR best recommendations.

Here's the goal:
I need a short play that's a goldmine for teaching ALL the elements of technical theatre - lights, sound, set, props, costumes, maybe even some fun effects or creative staging opportunities.

What I'm looking for:
• 15 minutes or so in length 
• High school-friendly (and actually engaging!)
• Something students would enjoy reading, not just tolerate
• Strong potential for creative design choices
• Clear moments for cues, transitions, and storytelling through tech

Thanks for your suggestions and responses.

"The One True Goddess of Acropolis High" published by Big Dog Publishing (www.bigdogplays.com) requires a thunderbolt (both sound and visual effect), echos, costumes for Greek goddesses, hair with snakes in it (for Medusa), fake blood for zombies, a scene on Mt. Olympus, crowd sounds, etc.

Robin, thank you for your response to my post. I'll check out the show. 

All the best as you work towards the end of the school year!

Thank you,

Russ
