One-act play


                                             Play, character descriptions etc.
Characters:
Chloe, female, 28, about to get married
Bree, 59, bride’s mother
Allison, 33, sales lady in a bridal store
Another female in the bridal store

  • Chloe is a spoiled, privileged girl who has always got what she has wanted. Now she’s about to merry a rich company owner and she’s going to a bridal store with her mother. She’s in a bad mood because the family’s car driver had arrived late and her mother is wearing a same color back than she is.
  • Bree, Chloe’s mother, was born in a middle class family. She got married and her and her husband got lucky in the job field. Now her husband has his own company that brings in a lot of money so Bree dropped out of work at the age of 48. She’s a mouse when it comes to telling her daughter rules or teaching her manners.  
  • Allison, 33, owns the fancy bridal store in Rodeo Drive. Loves to work there and pick up dresses for people.

Characters are walking down Rodeo Drive, they have left their limo and its driver quarter of a mile away from the store.. Chloe is clearly upset and is walking ahead of her mother. 

CHLOE: (In a snappy, frustrated voice...) This is exactly why I don’t go anywhere with you! You want to steal the attention from me. I’m sorry I’m prettier than you, mom. Same colored bag is not going to make it better for you. 

BREE: Calm down Chloe. I’m sorry I made you upset, but could you please cheer up? This is supposed to be fun for you. And for me. (tries to smile after stops talking..)

CHLOE: You have millions of bags, but you just had to choose the same one I was wearing. I mean seriously, mom. Aren’t parents suppose to make “their children come first”? Huh? Did you miss that part of the “How to be a good parent” -handbook?

BREE: (rolls her eyes and deeply exhales..) Let’s just forget about it, okay? We’re almost there. I can see the store on the right.

CHLOE: (still with an upset voice) And what is this thing with walking?! I did not buy these Vera Wang’s for walking. I would think you knew better. 

BREE: Smile now.

Both of the characters take a huge smile on their face as they open the bridal shop’s door. 

ALLISON: (leaves her desk and walks up to the customers who just walked in) Welcome to Perfect Bridal, ladies. How are you on this beautiful day? 
BREE: We’re excellent. No better place to be than a bridal store. Probably one of the places people feel the most nervous, excited and full of love. 

CHLOE: (Smiles, showing her perfectly fitted, white and straight teeth). Yes. I’m really excited to be here. I’ve heard good things about you.

ALLISON: I’m delighted to hear that. Would you ladies want something to drink or eat before we get on it? 

Bree and Chloe look at each other. Bree knew Chloe was always on a diet. 

Bree: I think we’re fine, thank you. Unless Chloe wants something. 

Chloe shakes her head. She’s mad, again. Her mom should know better. She’s always on a diet.

  1. 1.) From what I can tell, or at least just guessing what is going to happen next, is that the message is teach others the way you want to be treated.
    2.) Unhealthy
    3.) "Bag" and "Smile now."
    4.) My favorite part of this piece is Chloe's sassiness, I know she spoiled brat but her sassiness is great!
    5.) This piece is like a wedding movie because it has a wedding and also shows different kinds of people and how they react to weddings.
    6.) Just a few spelling errors, otherwise its fantastic :)
