FARCE. In this play within a play, extras try to convince their director that just because they’re extras doesn’t mean they’re not extra-ordinary. Tree 3 and Rock 2 try to upstage the Prince and Princess to prove to the director that they are the stars of the show even though they don’t have any lines. When this fails, Tree 3 gets together with Trees 1, 2, 4, and 5 to improve their acting. Hearing that the Trees are trying to steal the show, Rock 2 gathers together his fellow Rocks so they can enhance their acting with the aid of a Pet Rock. But when the Trees leave dirt on the stage and the Rocks beat up the actor who plays A Giant Pair of Scissors, the director goes ballistic and replaces the entire cast with techies. Outrageously funny and easy to stage!
