Awaiting Patients 4.jpg

Awaiting Patients

It’s a typical evening in the local doctor’s office, and the waiting room is filled with all sorts of patients. There’s the extremely pregnant lady craving Nutella and cantaloupe, her flustered fiancé, the 77-year old who really needs the restroom, the midwestern suburban mom, and the local oddball, who has made it his duty to hit on the receptionist. There’s only one person missing and that’s “Cartwright,” the next patient on the list. Company policy dictates that the doctor has to wait for any patient who is running late for up to an hour. And so the doctor waits...as chaos ensues in the waiting room.

Director Testimonials

“Awaiting Patients itself was enjoyable to direct and watch. There are several over-the-top scenes which the audience loved. The students enjoyed performing this play, molding their characters, and bringing them to life.”

— Kim McIvor
Theatre Director
St. Stephen’s High School

“We produced Awaiting Patients as a first time non-musical production. The cast loved the play and we had great fun rehearsing. It is humour-packed, and the adults in the audience appreciated it as much as the younger ones. I can recommend Awaiting Patients - it is a great production.”

— Carole Richardson
Artistic Director
Stagefright Drama

“Awaiting Patients was a fantastic choice for our local and state theatre competition. It offers a wide variety of characters with a relatively small cast and a simple set. It gave my class an opportunity to show off their character abilities and keep the audience in stitches!”
