An Uninvited Member: A Play for Girls in Two Scenes

The play takes place in a social setting such as a gathering or party where a group of girls are enjoying each other's company. However the mood shifts when an uninvited guest Lila arrives unexpectedly. Lila is someone who was not originally included in the event and her presence creates tension among the girls. Some of them are initially unsure how to react to her appearance as they were not expecting her and are caught off guard by the situation. As the play unfolds the girls grapple with how to handle the situation. Some are eager to include Lila recognizing that she may have been excluded for reasons that aren't entirely fair. Others however are more reluctant believing that the event is meant for a select few and feeling that Lila’s presence disrupts their plans. The play explores the emotional undercurrents of the situation touching on themes of jealousy exclusion and the dynamics of peer groups. Ultimately the play's resolution hinges on the girls' ability to recognize their own biases and the importance of kindness and inclusion.
