Orientation

by Ian McWethy

Two college RAs are tasked with matching up 8 incoming freshmen as roommates. By crafting the perfect pairings, their year could be worry-free! But if they fail, they may ruin the students' lives forever (according to a study they read, getting along with your freshman roommate means you are 80% more likely to have a productive and meaningful life). But with an extreme germaphobe, an intrusive pod caster, an over-excited Alaskan, and othe neurotic newbies, this is one assignment that deserves some extra credit.

Reviews

[Shawn Deal · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun witty play about college freshmen getting teamed up with their first roommate. Yep a comedy about every freshmans worst nightmare, the worst roommate ever. Clever, well written, this would be a fun play to perform.
