Synopsis: The story is really a question of belief. Does one believe in the tale of a galloping Hessian who rides through the woods ever searching for his lost head? Will the world end when a comet streaks the sky or a meteor falls to Earth? And what is it about the town of Sleepy Hollow that its residents are "given to all sorts of marvelous beliefs, the people are subject to trances and frequently see strange sights and hear music . . . voices in the air." Come visit this adaptation of Washington Irving's novel and meet again with Ichabod Crane, his nemesis Brom Bones and the lovely coquette they both court: Katrina Van Tassel. Let the play take you through twists and turns of ghostly stories, autumn mischief and the infamous ride of the headless horseman. Then decide for yourself - who and what do you believe? | ||||

Synopsis: Mrs. Quince, a member of the "William Shakespeare Wrote William Shakespeare Society" receives a copy of a play in the mail that could possibly be one of Shakespeare's earliest works. Thinking this could be the break-through that she, her society and her school's theatre department needs, she embraces the play and decides to produce it. When all that can go wrong (costumes delayed, set waterlogged and unusable, a cast of questionable loyalty and talent) does go wrong, it is decided the "show must go on" and indeed it does and we are treated to the hilarious results. | ||||

Synopsis: Aliesha, a disgruntled student, is trying to carry a huge book of Shakespeare's plays, but it's too heavy for her. So she tears some pages out and throws them in a trash can. The characters on those pages materialize, crawl out of the trash can and raise havoc on the school campus. It's funny for the audience but frightening for Aliesha. "This is definitely a play that could get young people interested in Shakespeare and to introduce them to some of his interesting characters." BYU Book and Play Review | ||||
