I am cursed with the odd number of kids in an advanced acting workshop.  I have a good mix of men and women, so that's not an issue. It's difficult to find quality scenes for 3 actors in which one is not 'blade of grass #17'. I need scenes that three kids with some ability and experience can all sink their teeth into.  Thank you.

Three popped into my mind from college acting classes - a rather random and quirkcy collection!

Madwomen of Chaillot
No Exit (depending on maturity level and school climate - certain sections might work)
On the Verge (there is a fourth character, but there are lots of three person sections)

Hello, Don. I came across this older post and was wondering if you had an updated link to three-person scenes as the link in the old post appears broken. Thank you so much.

All in the Timing has a couple. "Words, Words, Words", "Variations on the Death of Trotsky" and "English Made Simple" all have 3 people.

Crimes of the Heart has a couple good 3F scenes.
Proof has a few (Some 2F, 1F, some 2M, 1F)



I can't think of any more at the moment. Sorry!

Laundry and Bourbon for 3 women
Lonestar for 3 men
I think there are some scenes in All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
There are 3 person scenes in The Dining Room
Technically there's a 3 person scene in California Suite but since one person is asleep in the bed the entire time that won't work ;-)

We have the book "103 scenes for 3 actors" that comes in really handy for times like that.

It seems like I always end up with an odd number! I have used Amanda/Laura/Tom from The Glass Menagerie, Proctor/Elizabeth/Mary Warren from Act II of The Crucible, Anton in Show Business, Independence, Crimes of the Heart, Blithe Spirit, The Chopin Playoffs, Time Stands Still, A Clearing in the Woods, and several plays from The Actor's Theatre of Louisville 10-minute play collections (our favorites are The Philadelphia, Breaking the Chain, and Lonely).
