Hello!  I've found the show "The Little Dog Laughed" by Ken and Vera Tarpley on Samuel French's site and I love the free sample.

Not 100% sure what the difference is, but I just did the 2012 Revised Version last year through MTI and was thrilled with the helpful nature of the company as I navigated through my first musical. I'm almost 100% sure that if you are looking to do the revised version, MTI is the only one who owns the ...

Shira- As far as length is concerned, I am looking primarily at one-acts, but I am open to a full-length. I don't have a preference as far as comedy or drama is concerned. My students have more comedy experience, but I think could definitely use the exposure to drama. We are producing the show at the ...
