Hopkins Royal Productions Presents:
One Act Play Showcase
Join us for an exciting evening of one acts featuring four productions, performed by Hopkins Royal Productions.
The productions:
This Is a Test
A high school student faces the pressure of a make-or-break midterm exam, but reality quickly blurs as cheating classmates, indifferent teachers, and his own racing thoughts turn the classroom into something far more surreal. Funny, fast-paced, and sharply relatable, This Is a Test explores anxiety, expectations, and the chaos inside a student’s mind.
The Coal Diamond
Set in a mid-century insurance office during a routine lunch break, four women gather for gossip, bridge, and sandwiches. As the cards are dealt and conversation flows, a sharp-tongued supervisor holds court; until casual chatter gives way to an unexpected revelation. Witty, layered, and quietly powerful, The Coal Diamond reveals what lies beneath everyday routines.
In the Forests of the Night
Thirteen students are drawn by their dreams into a dangerous, never-ending game deep in the woods. A ritual meant to keep a terrifying presence at bay. Tense and atmospheric, the story follows the emotional and psychological toll of the game, centering on one player as the cost of survival becomes terrifyingly clear.
Romeo & Juliet (One Act Cutting)
Our MNHSL one act play competition piece, recently advanced to the Section Finals, presented in a fast-paced 34-minute adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy.
