Hi Colleagues: Looking for a play for our high school students that carries some positive weight and/or concludes with an uplifting message of sorts. We produced "The Curious Savage" a few years back and our students still end our show runs with "take an umbrella ... it's raining." I've scoured the websites ...

Please note, I am not advocating to perform live with an audience at this point, ...

It cost us $125 for 5 shows ($25 bucks a pop). My contact person for that song was Himeko deGuzman (Himeko.deGuzman@ ...

Hello all... and Happy Spring!  Just inquiring who out there has produced "A Christmas Carol" (play; not musical) before, and, if so, which adaptation you used (Jakes vs Mortimer vs Ludlum vs Patch.... etc. etc,). Thanks for any and all input! Brett ------------------------------ Brett Hiner ...
