All is quiet on the storefront as the owner of a small clothes shop locks up for the night. Little does she know that when the lights go out, activity in her store really picks up! Two lively mannequins, LuAnn and Patty, have been waiting all day for a chance to loosen up. When they discover fellow mannequin Danny in a mistakenly delivered crate, the night really gets interesting! The new mannequin on the block talks of his dreams of becoming a crash test dummy — “No more standing all day with a crooked hairpiece!” he exclaims. He not only gets out of his box, he thinks outside the box when a pair of bungling burglars breaks in. With Danny taking the reins, the mannequins show the crooks who the real “dummies” are, playing games with their minds, frightening them out of their wits and sending them on their way! To add to the fun and suspense, the burglars and mannequins are almost caught by the near-sighted security guard and some late-night window shoppers. With great comic dialogue and stage action, you won’t want the curtain to close on this crazy award-winning comedy, popular with all ages!

After Hours has been a hit for my students and audience members. Its quick wit, fast pace, and funny characters make it a totally enjoyable show to produce and watch.
It had great characters and some acting challenges that entertained an audience. Not only did the audience respond favorably, but we won 3rd place at Subsections and was an alternate for Regions.
We loved this play! We won the One Act Play state competition with this production. Nancy McInnis, Laurence Manning Academy, Manning, SC
I enjoyed the play, especially for its humor/comedy; it was very well-written. The flexibility in casting also worked well as I used it for one-act competition.
