About The Play
Comedy. 35-45 minutes. 3+ males, 8+ females (12-40 actors possible). Suitable for middle school and older.
Synopsis
When their own parents pretend to be dead to avoid their shows and their faculty sponsor flees with specific instructions, "Don't try to find me," you know you're looking at one desperate high school drama troupe. In a last-ditch effort to save their star-crossed production of Romeo and Juliet and indeed their program, they roll the dice and gamble that a zombie cast member or two will put people in the seats. But will their hungry new actors forever change the meaning of "live theatre"?
Online Playwriting Class Starts on May 21st! I will be teaching a month-long online playwriting class through Writers University beginning on May 21.
Festivals, Festivals, Festivals I am excited to be attending a number of national conferences in the coming months. First up, the International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska in late June, where I'll be teaching a quartet of writing workshops and hanging out at the Playscripts booth!
The Locker Next to Mine Now Available
My new play, The Locker Next to Mine, is now available. It's a full-length drama, though spiked with humor, about teen suicide and dealing with loss. I'm looking for a group to stage the world premiere. Could that be you?
Though the one-act version, available from Playscripts, stands on its own (and is perfect for competition!), this play was always intended to be a full-length composed of three acts: Rumors of Polar Bears, Ursa Major and Northern Lights. Look for the other two plays in the cycle sometime in 2012.
