Hi John, How fortuitous that you're in Louisville since this was presented by the University of Kentucky's Dept. of Theatre & Dance within the last 3 years. I can't recall who directed that show, but a quick email to either the Dept. Chair Nancy C. Jones or Associate Professor Nelson Fields should ...

Karen, This may be a bit more than you asked for, but I immediately thought of The Awesome 80's Prom. It's not a short piece, but its gloriously, stereotypically 80's! The fun part of this is that it can be interactive for the audience (who, just by attending this show, think the 80's were a tubular ...

Both are good recommendations, Charlene! Laurilea, I don't believe there were a lot of Theatrefolk scripts performed at the Junior Thespian Festival 2012 in Denver, but they write great scenes for 2 or more. You may see more and more at the Junior Festival 2014 in Dallas. To wet your appetite, check ...
