A bunch of teens hanging out in an online chat room provides the perfect setting for an easy-to-produce stage play. Looking for a way to cope with sleepless nights, Poppy creates the Insomniac Society as a safe, online place for awake but tired teens confined to their bedrooms to pass the long night hours of sleeplessness. It’s almost like going to a slumber party every night, with lighthearted chat room conversation and fun, online pseudonyms such as Night Owl, Third Shift, Tryptophan, Sandman, and Shuteye.
Luckily, Poppy strictly enforces the rules to the private chat room: no personal information, no talking about the time, and no consulting with one another about curing their insomnia. New recruits, like Bunny Slippers, must pass an extensive screening by the group before being allowed to join. But Poppy’s own diligence begins to fall victim to exhaustion. Fortunately, the latest outsider who gained entry into the secret society cares about Poppy and wants to help.
With a completely gender-neutral, totally teenage cast, this dramedy has a depth that makes it particularly well-suited for middle or high school productions, teen theatre camps and classes, and one-act competitions.
