Jason Pizzarello

To win his freedom from school bully Bugs, smart aleck Tommy offers to help him get a date to the prom with popular actress Stephanie Mezaluna. But the only way to get her attention is to convince her that Bugs is a famous actor in hiding, and as one cover-up leads to another, it's not long before a jock, Steve, is parading as Bug's slick New York agent, and Tommy is stuck trying to get Steve's sister a date to the prom. Of course, prom tickets are only on sale until fifth period -- so Tommy has to act fast and try to control the chaos in this wild high school hallway farce.

Synopsis:

Neverland is turned on its head in this clever blend of It's a Wonderful Life and J.M. Barrie's classic tale. When the Lost Boys go missing, Peter Pan wishes he never came to Neverland. Unfortunately, his wish is granted by Tinkerbell's unkempt fairy cousin, Stinkerbell, and Peter is given a glimpse of what the world would be like without him. Seeing the Lost Boys now employed by Captain Hook (now known as Captain Two Hands), the obnoxious Darling children, and a Tinkerbell who's lost her wits, Peter finally realizes the importance of his existence -- and how it really is a wonderful Neverland.

Synopsis:

What do you get when you combine an after school special, a penguin heist, accent-challenged knights, puppet-show Shakespeare, and a vampire murder mystery? One playwright thinks these could be the ingredients for his magnum opus, but it could be the recipe for the worst play ever written in the history of the world. . .and possibly the universe. With Stage Directions and Scene Heading as our narrators and flashy Flashback giving backstory, nothing on earth could possibly outdo this hilariously awful night of theater.
