I have two dramatic suggestions, however they are intended for adult audiences. If it's a professional acting class and you're an adult I'd go for it. If you're a teenager and/or it's for a high school acting class I wouldn't as they wouldn't be appropriate.

Look for a scene from a play called Beirut, or a play called Fool For Love by Sam Shepherd.

A little more tame but very fun and appropriate no matter what the setting, and want to try something somewhat classical, look at the Importance of Being Earnest, a scene between Cecily and Algernon.

There's also some great scenes in Summer and Smoke, by Tennessee Williams and All My Sons by Arthur Miller, which would both be age appropriate.

Good luck!

"Misery" by Steven King. There are only two characters in it throughout the entire play. One girl and one guy. and it is very interesting.

Butterflies are free. Its about a Blind Guy and a Hippie girl he meets who lives next door to him..Very Very good Play. Goldie Hawn did the Part of Jill ( the Girl " In film.
