13 Ways to Screw up Your College Interview by Ian McWethy

When two college recruiters at a prestigious university need to fill one last spot to keep their jobs, 13 eccentric, dimwitted and slightly-insane high school seniors are eager to come in for an interview. What seems like a simple task turns into a nightmare when the applicants turn out to be a reality TV star, a practicing vampire, an amateur magician, and others that are much, much worse. Each applicant’s interview hilariously illustrates what NOT to do at a college interview.

Lockdown by Douglas Craven

In a dark classroom, eight students sit in an “official lockdown,” not knowing if it’s just a drill or an actual emergency. When a hysterical younger girl bolts from the room and the teacher follows, the remaining students are left alone to decide if it’s safer to stay or run.

God by Woody Allen

Set in an empty Greek amphitheater, this mad play within a play switches back and forth between ancient Athens and a modern theatre. An ancient Greek actor and writer are discussing how to end a play. Audience members pop up and join the show, including Doris Levine, Blanche DuBois and a woman who has been stabbed on the subway, among others. Peppered with metaphysical and philosophical questions, the play skids along farcically, and the actor and writer conclude that the play lacks a beginning as well as an ending.
