SYNOPSIS: "I've already been to high school, that's like the biggest freak show of all." Monique dreads school. The constant torment makes her feel like a sideshow freak. Every day, Monique wanders the scariest place on earth, the school hallway, and wishes she could just disappear - and then she does. Monique finds herself out of high school and in an "unusual, disturbing, and fantabulastic" sideshow. Monique the freak, the freakiest freak of all, wonders how she got there, why she is there, and what other outcasts lurk inside. This fantasy social drama explores bullying and its extreme consequences. Though sometimes dark, Freak emphasizes hope, and it is hope that finally leads her home. Awards: Second Place 2008 North Dakota Region 2 One Act Play Competition: Superior Actor Award, Honorable Mention Actor Award, and Best Ensemble Award.

Be creative with costuming. I suggest you coordinate the set with your costumes. Use the color "red" symbolically, representing death. Max and the Clowns can be black, white and red. Let each character have their own color added to black or black and white, then add those colors to the set. Have students costume themselves.
