About the Play
Dramedy. 40-50 minutes (flexible). 2-20+ females, 2-20+ males (6-40+ performers possible). Suitable for high school (and advanced middle school) and older performers, and middle school and older audiences.
To reduce the running time (for example, for competition), producers may choose to cut any scene in its entirety with the exception of the Free Fallin' and group Selfie scenes that give the play its throughline.
Me, My Selfie and I co-premiered at Lompoc High School (Lompoc, CA) and Westmont High School (Campbell, CA).
Also available as an adaptation for virtual performance.
The author grants productions pre-approval to make cuts to meet time limits and community standards regarding profanity and obscenity for Texas UIL and other one-act competitions.
Synopsis
We live in a world of social media, one in which we seem to be recording our every experience. But are we making memories or missing out on them? Through a series of scenes and monologues—everything from an accidental first date to a most unusual art exhibit to creating that last, best selfie—we meet a group of teens who are struggling to find the balance between documenting their lives and living them.
