Roberts Playwriting Award; Virginia Weisbroad Playwriting Award; David Nederlander Playwriting Award; Sweepstakes Playwright Award. Tim Kelly's first stage play, Widow's Walk, was published in the 1960's, at the same time his A Darker Flower opened at New York's Pocket Theatre, The Trunk And All That Jazz at Boston's Image Theatre, and Die Blum in Germany. Since then, he has kept up a steady flow of amazingly diverse work - having well over 300 plays currently in print--and in continuous production. Kelly received countless honors for his playwriting including seven major university awards, grants from the Office of Advanced Drama Research, the National Endowment for the Arts, the American Broadcasting Company and the Nederlander Production Company. A Tim Kelly Collection has been established at the University of Wyoming's American Heritage Center and Emerson College has twice honored him for his "Contributions to the Field of playwriting." A former drama critic, screen and television writer, and journalist, Kelly was particularly noted for the broad scope of his work which covered everything from mysteries to musicals to serious drama. In 1995, Tim Kelly was elected a member of The College of Fellows of the American Theatre. He died suddenly of a heart attack in the mid-1990s

Synopsis: | Take three bold, brave Musketeers, toss in a brash pint-sized would-be Musketeer, add a king who's a giant chicken, blend with a thieving, conniving cardinal, and you've got the recipe for a musical melodrama that is goofiness at a gallop. - Daily News. Here is Alexandre Dumas' greatest swashbuckling novel turned inside out and the result is sheer musical hilarity. Darth Canyon, a country lad, dreams of becoming a King's Musketeer. In Paris, he joins up with three of the best: Armistice, Pothole and Applesauce. Because Darth Canyon is very short they decide to be known as The 3 ½ Musketeers. Soon Darth Canyon is smitten with one of the Queen's handmaidens, the lovely Custard (she's sweet and always running). The Musketeers find themselves smack in the middle of a wild plot concocted by the evil Minister of State, Richelieu, and his number one spy, the devastatingly beautiful (and wicked) Countess De Whimper. | |||||

Synopsis: | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Houdini are dear friends although the issue of spiritualism often causes them to argue. Doyle arranges a seance with a famed medium. Houdini plans to expose the medium as a fraud, but he doesn't count on the woman's cleverness. Sparks fly as the two battle with Sir Arthur and a woman reporter on the sidelines. Ultimately, Doyle and Houdini have a stormy scene and the magician finds he must retreat before the medium's skill and intelligence. They make a strange pact: to stay as far away from one another as possible. If Houdini behaves, she won't reveal his secret - he believes Sherlock Holmes is a real person | |||||

Synopsis: | This is a much requested follow-up to the ever-popular The Butler Did It. Publisher and socialite, indomitable Miss Maple rents a plantation house, complete with menacing alligator, in the frightening swap land of Louisiana. She wants to introduce her latest literary discovery, Ruth Dice, who has written a first novel entitled Conversations with a Ghoul. Ruth has only contempt for the guests. Classic detective prototypes like tough Chandler Marlow, chic Manhattan couple Rick and Laura Carlyle, westerner Tony Tallchief. She dismisses Louie Fan and gentle Father White as has-been hacks and so naturally, she's the perfect candidate for murder. However, it's the bizarre owner of the house of secrets, Jasper Van Dine, who's discovered in the parlor with a scalpel once belonging to Jack the Ripper in his back! Whodunnit? It's up to the flakey detective writers to unravel the puzzle. Chills, thrills, alibis, clues, motives, and dazzling plot twists fly about the stage like pies-in-the-face where nothing is what it seems to be | |||||

Notes: | Music by Arne Christiansen, Lyrics by Ole Kittleson, book by Tim Kelly | |||||
| This is a delightful, audience pleasing, one-set, musical spoof based on Mr. Kelly's enormously popular hit The Butler Did It. Miss Maple, a flaky society dowager, invites a pack of zany detective writers to a spooky house on an isolated island and forces them to impersonate their fictional sleuths. For entertainment, she arranges some "classic" touches - a hairy face at the window, the threat of an escaped lunatic, no communications with the outside world. What she did not arrange was the body on the sitting room carpet! It's up to seedy Chandler Marlowe to solve the bizarre case and he makes a side-splitting mess of it! Ultimately, everyone has a guilty secret to confess and the real killer turns out to be the least suspected. | |||||

Synopsis: | A Baker best seller, this comedy parodies every English mystery play ever written: but it has a decidedly American flair. Miss Maple, a dowager with a reputation for "clever" weekend parties, invites a group of detective writers to eerie Ravenswood Manor on Turkey Island where they are to impersonate their fictional characters. The hostess has arranged all sorts of amusing incidents - a mysterious voice on the radio, a menacing face at the window, a mad killer on the loose. Who is that body in the wine cellar anyway? Why do little figurines keep toppling from the mantle? Then a real murder takes place, and Miss Maple is outraged. She offers an immense reward to the "detective" who can bring the killer to justice. And what an assortment of zany would-be sleuths! When they're not busy tripping over clues, they trip over each other! Laughs collide with thrills, and the climax is a real seat-grabber as the true killer is unmasked, and almost everyone turns out to be someone else! | |||||

Synopsis: | A Wild Farce About Comic Books - Pity poor Waldo Puppybreath! In the spirit of fearless journalism, he has written an editorial for the school paper suggesting that the proposed site for a new high school building is actually a swamp! The land speculator is not amused. The high school bully, a dead ringer for the Godfather, is muscling in on the Prom Queen Contest. And the biology teacher is demanding Waldo's resignation from the paper because it's interfering with his studies of the anatomy of a cat. In such trying times, Waldo draws strength from his comic book Wonder Heroes. So, when knocked out in a fight with the school Godfather, he enters a twilight world where all the characters of Act One are transformed into the colorful and totally unbelievable characters of Waldo's beloved comic books! A fast-paced comic book farce with a zany romance, some rip-roaring chases, slapstick action and of course good triumphing over evil! Simple production requirements and minimal rehearsal demands | |||||

Synopsis: | When the audience enters, the curtains are open and the stage empty. Slowly the cast enters, wondering what it's to perform. To warm up, they do pantomime scenes from their "great success," The Black Death. Then they discover three cards marked "Sea," "Cave," and "Future." They reject the sea (too cold) and the future (too far) and opt to create life in a dark cave, when early man was threatened both by marauding beasts and by his fear of the unknown. Hunters and a warrior journey forth in search of prey but return empty-handed, as even the animals have fled the hostile terrain. Then the warrior discovers a "strange tribe" with the unheard-of gift of laughter, and a "great winged thing" invades the sanctuary, causing panic. A decision must be made whether to leave or stay-and the vote is to venture forth, despite what might lie ahead. Everything's here from a touch of Pirandello to Story Theatre, and the play requires nothing in the way of "production" except imagination. | |||||

Through brief, dramatic scenes, this First Actor of Rome is shown to be an expert comedian and stage director. However, word has reached the Emperor Diocletian of the actor's belief in the still young religion of Christianity, an act of treason. While Genesius is performing, he is ordered to renounce his faith. This he cannot do, and he is put to death before his troupe of players. The roles are unusual since each member of the cast must play two characters | |||||

Synopsis: | Here's the comical toe-tapper that your audiences have been waiting for! The doors are wide open at the Creeps' zany abode, so come right in and get a load of this monstrously fun musical! The Creeps, a charming though unusual family, live in a dilapidated mansion in Edible Falls. Heading the home is Sinbad and his captivating spouse, Tarantula. We also meet up with their teenage niece, Sally, gorgeous maid Lullaby Jones and a butler who just happens to resemble a billy goat. Unfortunately, Flora Limetree, a local society dragon, loathes the Creeps. Each year she enters Pilgrim Road in the All-American Street Contest. But every year the street loses, due, in her opinion, to the appearance of the Creeps' house. Evily scheming with her nephew, Bubba, Flora re-draws the town limits, and the Creeps find themselves outsiders. To complicate matters, Prince Un Ravel arrives from Egypt as a guest in the Creeps' household, and "M.D." (short for Mysterious Dude) falls in love with Sinbad's grandmother, who just happens to be raising crocodiles in the dungeon! Throw in your basic pirates and vultures, add a talking clock and a lively, ghostly portrait and top it off with an ancient telephone operator who lives in the walls. Spice it all up with a number of show-stopping tunes, and you have the recipe for the blockbuster of the year. Eventually, the Creeps are back where they belong, and thanks to them, Pilgrim Road wins the contest. You'll have to see it to believe it! Wonderful small roles. Easy to rehearse. No production problems. A non-stop, all-in-fun laugh-a-thon! With this family entertainment, your cast and audience will never forget the side-splitting tunes of "Hickory, Dickory, Dock," "It's Nice to Have a Man Around the Dungeon" and many more original delights! When the Creeps come to your town, you and your audience are ready for fun! | |||||

Synopsis: | Plain Peggy Drab, whose nose is a rival to Pinocchio's, is desperately in love with handsome Rake Carbuncle, but his social dragon of a mother has arranged his marriage to Clover, the snooty heiress. Weary of rejection, Little Peggy sells matches in the street until she has enough money - $1,750,000.00 - to pay world-famous plastic surgeon, Dr. Armour Balducci. Peggy thus turns into glamorous Destiny Mink in a scene that will have audience howling at the absolute improbability of it all! Balducci marries her and promptly (and conveniently) drops dead. Destiny claws her way to the top of corporate America, wreaking havoc on those who scorned her when she was little Peggy Drab. Madcap complications abound! This inspired spoof is designed so that a few actors can play several zany roles, from a snarling servant to a love-crazed gypsy violinist. Ultimately, of course, Destiny finds her true self, and discovers that Rake has always loved her . . . | |||||

Synopsis: | Here's a hilarious one act musical farce that spoofs Robert Louis Stevenson's classic! Dr. Henry Jekyll, a well-bred English doctor, probes the diabolic side of human nature and turns himself into the villainous Mr. Hyde. . . the terror of London! The setting is Jekyll's laboratory, which doubles nicely for Hyde's apartment. Jekyll has forced his attorney to make out a new will naming Hyde as his sole heir. Trouble escalates as we meet wacky characters: Lady Bugg and her icky daughter Alice; Mrs. Gush, whose little boy swallowed some coins and there's been no change; and Mildred Kidneystone, who mistakes a hat rack for the doctor. Eventually, Jekyll must pay for his dangerous experiment. A zany taste of tunes add to the spirited dialogue: "An Extraordinary Scene," "What A Fortunate Girl Am I!" and the show-stopping "Don't Let Him Get Away!" | |||||

It features a disreputable (and hilarious) villain who dispatches his adversaries with nefarious ease and even seals his wife in a madhouse to steal her vast fortune! He battles a wicked countess in one of the most uproarious fight scenes ever staged! When all else fails, he engineers mock funerals. But he's scared of the mysterious "woman in white" who's escaped from the asylum to seek him out. Abandoned wives, insolent servants, lawyers, hypochondriacs and manly drawing masters parade across the stage in gales of comedy terminating only when the villain is brought to justice in an audience cheering, outrageous and spectacular finale | |||||

Synopsis: | The scene is a rustic shack in the remote wilderness of New Hampshire's White Mountains, the home of the sinister Granny Goodwife and her young helper, Susanna, whom Granny found abandoned in the woods. Known as a healer adept in the use of folk remedies, Granny is also suspected of being a witch and, indeed, she has kept Susanna a virtual prisoner by casting a spell which only she can break. Susanna and the others who live nearby are also intimidated by the tale of "The Scarecrow Woman" (reputed to be Granny's sister) who rises from the bottom of Muddy Pond when there is fog on the mountains and beckons people to their deaths. As the play begins Susanna and her friend Charlotte are plotting to outwit Granny by impersonating "The Scarecrow Woman" and demanding Susanna's release, a plan which is complicated by the unexpected appearance of John, a young college student who is doing research on the folkways and folklore of the region. Enthralled by Granny's bizarre stories and weird potions, John is reluctant to take the tale of "The Scarecrow Woman" or the girls' attempt to make use of it seriously until, in a shocking, macabre twist, he is made aware that they are all indeed in the presence of genuine, and terrifying, evil-and that there are truths which must be accepted even though they defy understanding and logic. | |||||

Synopsis: | Two of America's most popular playwrights team up for the first time to create this tale of an unscrupulous movie producer who insidiously cons six major stars (via six different scripts) into believing they are each the star of an upcoming movie, and by crafty shooting-schedules keeps them fooled until the movie's made. There are 18 wildly funny musical numbers that spoof the foibles of Hollywood, like Plato Voltaire's "You Genius, You!," odious Baby Bernice Bumble's "Tappin' to the Top!," and Flint Wormwood and Apassionata Abalone's show-stopping duet called "Practice Makes Perfect." | |||||

Synopsis: | Film producer Junior Dover (Jr.) hasn't made a picture since his last flop, Zombies of the Stratosphere. But his latest project has everything, from earthquakes to savage lobsters. Junior induces every major Hollywood star, a few has-beens, and even a maybe, to appear by tailoring separate scripts to meet each star's personal requirements. So each star assumes he or she is the whole picture, with the other Greats relegated to supporting roles - an assumption that leads to all kinds of madcap stage frenzy. How Junior manages to stay one jump ahead of disaster makes this play a champion laugh-getter! This is Hollywood, after all! Anything can happen, and does! All the parts give a comically ludicrous sweep to the legend that is Hollywood! | |||||

Synopsis: | Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the student lounge, you discover Marcus has come home! Years before, on Prom Night, he lost the election for student body president and burned down the gymnasium, and since then, he has spent his days in a nearby asylum plotting revenge. This delightful, easy to produce play is a wild spoof of all the teenage horror films ever made, from "Halloween" to "Nightmare on Elm Street" The roles are great fun to play - everything from Elmo the clod who gives campus security a bad name to Carrie Bisquitbarrel who gives school cafeterias something even worse. Plus, there's the killer lawnmower that stalks the campus, and ski-masked maniacs who drop in with chainsaws. And so it's up to Audrey, the brightest girl in the school, to come up with a method to catch Marcus! A movie send-up with a comic grabber for a young cast | |||||

To make matters worse, she arrives in a wheelchair with a broken leg. But she does have one weak spot -- she is incurably superstitious, a fact one of the pledges plans to use to the sorority's advantage. By the time the pledge is through with her scheme, Major Curtis is all but bouncing out of her wheelchair and making for the door! | |||||

Synopsis: | Hurricane Smith fears nothing-neither the blood-thirsty Cobra People nor the headhunters lurking in jungle shrubbery. Naturally, Linda Zest, photo-journalist, and Bill and Hildegarde, Hurricane's young admirers, are along for the romp. Even Java-Java, Hurricane's gorilla nanny, gets a song in this show ("What a Monkey!"). One simple set makes this play easy to produce. This is a hilarious and tuneful spoof that not only keeps your cast and audience delighted but also guarantees brisk ticket sales. The thrilling score piles up one blockbuster hit after another-"I've Made Up My Mind," "I Like Your Style," "Pot Luck." When Hurricane sings "I Hear Jungle Drums," you'll want to pack your quinine tablets and head for the Amazon Jungle singing all the way-"Hooray for Hurricane!" | |||||

Synopsis: | You're going to love this riotous, lighthearted musical! Baroness Frankenstein has opened her castle to monsters of the world who are having difficulty fitting in with society. Her guests include the Mummy, a Phantom Bride, the mad Igor, a Medusa (complete with snakes in her hair), Vampira, a descendant of Dr. Jekyll's and the Invisible Man. The kind baroness rents the castle from Mrs. Hoople, who sends monthly checks to pay for the staff she imagines is working there. So what do these zany creatures do when Mrs. Hoople arrives rather unexpectedly to inspect the premises? Well, pose as the servants, of course! Poor Mrs. Hoople is shocked to discover a mummy for her butler and Igor for her gardener. What's worse, the cleaning woman is a vampire and there's a monster stretched out on the dining room table! The play's climax has a werewolf battling the Invisible Man in full view of the audience! The score is just as wacky as the plot, with such tunes as "Castle Frankenstein," "It's a Madhouse" and "Werewolf." If you're looking for a musical creature feature, then come to this hilarious horror house! | |||||

The suspects include Melanie, the professional southern Belle; Sniffles the hypochondriac; Theda, the world's greatest undiscovered talent; and Fifi, an exchange student whose biggest battle is understanding English. Shirley has a noble assistant in "Dotty" Watson, who is delighted to write everything down in her "memoirs."

Synopsis: | In the London home of Dr. Thaddeus Sargeant, news that a deranged killer call-ed Jack the Ripper is roaming the nearby alleys causes terror. The housekeeper is morbidly fascinated and when a stranger comes to the house bearing an uncanny resemblance to newspaper descriptions of the madman, she's convinced the entire family is in mortal danger. The household contains two felons, both of whom are looked upon as experiments in rehabilita-tion by the doctor's daughter. Visitors include a police inspector who investigates the murder of a previous maid and Lady Flora Chilton who is determined to rid Whitechapel of its social ills. Suspicion falls on each character as the London fog swirls and more killings indicate the killer, as well as the police, are drawing closer to the house. The play offers a solution to the famous case, as well as an explanation as to why Jack was never found. | |||||

Synopsis: | A fast-paced, easy-to-produce, madcap comedy that kept its premiere audience weak with laughter and has been doing the same across the country ever since. Gloria Alexander is about to lose dilapidated Whispering Pines for back-taxes. She'd gladly sell the place, but there are no takers. Enter two state officials, with plans to make the hotel a base for a sting operation. They give out the word that the hotel will accept stolen goods, hoping to catch a number of petty criminals operating in the area. Soon the lobby is populated by a parade of cheerful weirdos like ultra-cool Rondo Muldoon, Irma the bag lady, jewel thieves, a bewildered society leader and frantic young lovers. They're all fairly normal compared to the clever handyman, Putney, who dreams of being a recluse. One hilarious complication collides with another up to the climax when each visitor turns out to have an unsuspected, rib-tickling reason for being at the hotel. | |||||

Soon after, Mrs. Hudson announces the arrival of heavily-veiled women who have come on matters of the greatest delicacy. Laughs come fast and furious as the audience views a typical day in the life of the master detective who has just discovered the science of fingerprinting. It is Watson who brings the startling news that Moriarty has escaped once more to pursue his life of crime and evil. Now it's up to Holmes to prove, via fingerprints, the criminal's true identity. It's a hilarious revelation that explains why Holmes was never able to outwit the foxy professor. | |||||

Synopsis: | Based on Robert Neilson Stephens' On the Bowery, this stage success depicts wild and wicked deeds. This version is easy to rehearse and produce, but misses none of the fun and thrills. Mrs. Drayton wishes her daughter Alice to marry villainous Thurlow Bleekman but she loves reporter Jack Hobart. The Drayton mansion is robbed and Bleekman blames Jack, forcing him to prowl the Bowery dressed as a Chinese waiter amid the riff raf who congregate at Brody's. Meanwhile, Bleekman's girlfriend threatens to reveal his true character if he does not marry her. In the play's funniest scene the villain engages burglars to toss the troublesome girl from the Brooklyn Bridge. The villain meets his liar's doom, Jack and Alice marry, and a lost daughter and mother are reunited while the laughter rolls on. Optional olio acts can add to the hilarity | |||||

Synopsis: | If you've ever enjoyed those wonderfully dreadful late night mystery-thrillers of the past, you'll go wild over this clever, wacky, uproarious farce. Young Priscilla Del Mar has journeyed into the country with her superstitious cousin Patsy to view The Old Dark House, her inheritance from a weird uncle who was known to have carried on even weirder experiments! The property has burned down under those well known suspicious circumstances, and the girls are forced to take shelter in the home of Dr. Gorilla, a legendary master criminal. Unknown to the girls, guests at a nearby home for the upset have also invaded the premises: the feuding Grandma Hatfield, Lizzie Borden, and Sweet Alice Blue Goon. A few of the strange experiments from The Old Dark House seem to be on the loose, too! Of course there are disappearing corpses, manic, mile-a-minute chase scenes and all manner of inspired lunacy. | |||||

Synopsis: | Alright, we all say we don't read them. But we do. Every now and then, we sneak one, just to be able to say how terrible they are. They're Romance Novels, and they're everywhere! And this spoof of the satin-and-lace literature industry will keep your audiences in hysterics. Valentina Velour, the Queen of Romance Fiction, opens Honeymoon House to a television program. Unfortunately, someone has left a dead man in the closet and a wacko called The Rose Killer is bumping off the love scribblers. Confusion and madness abound as vitamin fanatics, cops, literary agents and writers collide. The whole madcap mess concludes with the exposure of Valencia's arch-enemy and an affirmation of her philosophy - Romance will be here when men and women no longer walk the earth! | |||||

The school is being run by Lily, a dedicated, beautiful young instructor. The only catch is that Charlie's young sister and her girlfriends, all students, may be mixed up in something sinister. If Rudee, the handsome ski instructor, isn't quite what he seems, neither is Fritz, the bad tempered and menacing gardener. Mystery, comedy, and romance plus diverting humor all add up to a delightful evening of theatre. | |||||

Synopsis: | The title really says it all! If you have ever laughed at all the ridiculous excesses of the prime-time soaps, you're going to laugh harder than ever as you read this show! A musicalization of Tim Kelly's Destiny!, you'll find that even the tunes are a scream in this version, and wait until you get to the trial scene, wherein Jack Sharkey has performed the highly unlikely task of putting the lyrics to the tune of Franz Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhapsody - with hilarious results! How plain Peggy Drabb becomes fabulous Destiny Mink and rises from poverty to fabulous wealth (and beauty!) is the plot of this failure-proof musical. Certain to please audiences and casts alike. | |||||

Synopsis: | Here is the essence of Dickens' most theatrical novel, a parade of colorful characters: wicked Uncle Ralph; stylish Madame Mantalini; "decayed" Arthur Gride; pitiable orphan Smike; the winsome Cherryble brothers; lovely Madelaine Bray; scheming Lady Hawk; and the amazing Crummles with their seedy theatre troupe. Standing above all the villains is the infamous Wackford Squeers who, with his horrible wife and daughter, runs his dreadful school with his cane and tablespoons of foul-tasting medicine. A delightful blend of comedy, mystery and melodrama written for easy production. Area staging. | |||||

Synopsis: | Two hucksters, Joe Allen and Steve Bentley, decide to stage a Miss Junior Venus Beauty Pageant in order to attract sponsors and hundreds of high school lovelies who'll pay a large entry fee to make them rich. Unfortunately, only seven girls enter, and there are no sponsors. Complicating matters, theatre owner Mrs. Hoopway tries to evict them, and Knuckles Skinner, a menacing thug, wants to harm them bodily! Our heroes spend most of their time either running or hiding in this good-natured farce carnival filled with goofy characters: Lois Del Monaco, who won local fame playing Romeo in a Little Theatre production; Pippi Wrongstocking, who harbors a curious secret; George, the always-smiling weatherman; and the judges Rose Bowl and Penny Loafer, straight from waitressing at Mumbles Fast Food Coffee Shop. The lunatic action and slapstick plot gets funnier and funnier, with the actual pageant as the finale, complete with an outlandish talent show. Amazingly, everything turns out okay. The no-problem set is a snap, and the staging is simple. Many of the small roles may be managed with only a couple of rehearsals. This is one night's entertainment that will keep you laughing! | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | As the author describes: Imagine what would happen if the tragedy of Hamlet were played like a story in a trashy detective magazine! The bard would never be the same and neither would your audience. Shy on poetry but loaded with poetic license (and laughter) THE OMELET MURDER CASE introduces Chicago's number one private investigator and hack writer, "Shake" Speare. Shake is noted for his juicy yarns: "Who Poisoned Juliet?"-"Don't Go In The Tower With Richard"-"Madman Macbeth Is A Lousy Host." With his faithful secretary Miss Marlowe he's summoned to the fabulous Elsinore Mansion, where things are, as Shake would say, "moiderous." The once-lovely Miss Ophelia has traded in her evening wrap for a straitjacket, the Stern sisters (Gilda and Rosa) are acting weird, and society queen Gertrude is all nerves because her flaky son is telling people that his father was done in by poison dropped in the ear (was it murder or wax buildup?). But it isn't until Shake arrives that things really get muddled. Gertrude's new husband, Claude, is downright rude, and son Hamlet is edging closer to the funny farm minute by minute. Shake's deductions are both awful and uproarious. Could the true murder weapon be those mysterious olives? The lukewarm Ovaltine? What has cable television to do with any of it? The solution, alas, leaves Shake with egg on his face, but Marlowe is determined to write up the case. She gets the detective's blessing, although he thinks a title like Hamlet will never sell. The riotous characters are fun to play and the production aspects are extremely simple. Ideal for contest use or for any group looking for something amusing and "different." Running time is about thirty minutes. | |||||

Synopsis: | Please note this is not a children's play. It is about Richard Burton (Rag-gedy Dick), the greatest English traveler and explorer of the 19th Century, master of thirty-eight languages, atheist, iconoclast, eroticist and suspected pronographer. Isabel (Puss), his wife, was a devoted Roman Catholic with prudish tastes. After Burton's death she spent seventeen days and nights alone in his study reading all his unpublished works, deciding what would survive and what would be consigned to the flame. She destroyed what Burton considered his greatest effort, the one work that best reflected himself - The Scented Garden. This work is an attempt to ex-plain what led up to that incredible holocaust, It is a play, not precise history. | |||||

Synopsis: | One of the most fascinating mysteries dealing with William Shakespeare is the fact that he left his wife, Ann Hathaway, nothing but his "second best bed." This odd bequest has puzzled biographers for centuries. The play opens as several gossipy neighbors visit Anne's cottage. They already know of the bequest and are anxious to see Anne's reaction when she hears the news, which is about to be delivered by Shakespeare's two daughters, Judith and Susanna. The women are cheated out of their amusement by Anne's fierce faith in her husband, even though his wealth has been left to others. However, the bard was never one to leave things as they seem and by curtain time Anne has discovered just how greatly Will loved and needed her. It's a surprise ending that catches not only Anne unaware but the audience as well. A delightful romantic comedy, extremely simple to stage. About twenty minutes. | |||||

Synopsis: | Suggested by the writings of Arthur Conan Doyle. This mirthful adventure involving Mata Hari, Jack the Ripper, Queen Victoria, beautiful Lady Fitzroy, Mrs. Hudson, Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard and of course, evil Professor Moriarty is the only tale Dr. Watson did not write down. A jeweled dagger, miniaturization chamber, opium den, immobilizing gas and a hideous idol are part of the merriment, as the Victorian spoof moves from the London docks to Regent's Park. The score is filled with show stoppers, the lyrics are hilarious, the roles are great fun and the production requirements are minimal. Adaptable to arena staging. | |||||

Synopsis: | A laugh riot that's great fun for the cast and the audience. The tiny island of Lilliput, where most of the population consists of teenagers, is about to collapse. There is no economy. So the feisty ruler, Queen Oona, decides to turn management over to a Hollywood film studio. She hopes its crude but successful methods will save Lilliput. Alas, the ambassador contracts the wrong studio. It's a sleazy television outfit headed by Hazel and Larry. Their current project is a doomed pilot called The Beverly Billygoats. They move quickly to Lilliput where they won't have to pay rent and can use the locals for actors! When a yacht crashes on a reef with a rock singer named Beef Burgundy and his back-up singers, Linda and Ann-Marie, Larry hits on a scheme he thinks will bring in publicity and tourists. He will tell the world Elvis Presley is alive and living on Lilliput! One uproarious mishap collides with another until your audience is weak with laughter. | |||||

Old Horatio Tucker, sponsor of television's most popular daytime soap, The Best Tears of Our Lives, has received an anonymous note telling him that the clue to his killer can be found in the next day's episode. Things become woefully muddled when a nasty network executive, Ivy Medea Robespierre, is done to death with a thumbtack, Dr. Brock Rittenhouse is discovered stuffed up the fireplace chimney, and old man Tucker is dispatched via a bowl of chicken soup. With characters slipping in and out of their television roles, and plastic surgeons, welfare cheaters, theatrical hams and assorted zanies running loose, the stage becomes wonderfully, hysterically dizzy. | |||||

Synopsis: | The action takes place in nineteenth-century Philadelphia, where Dr. Cyrus Norton, a brilliant but eccentric surgeon, is creating an "anatomical museum" to further his standing as a recognized expert on anatomy and dissection. The problem is that he needs cadavers, and by law these can only be obtained from the public gallows, so he is forced to deal with the unsavory Gin Hester and her sinister partner, Scrubbs, two grave robbers and body-snatchers who have little concern about where the corpses might come from. In fact, in their zeal to practice their lucrative trade, the two soon bring suspicion on Dr. Norton and his household: his devoted daughter, who wants to follow in her father's footsteps; his vapid spinster sister; and his eager assistant, a young doctor who has fallen in love with the daughter. Chills mount as one eerie scene follows another, and the persistent police detective assigned to the case moves nearer to learning the truth about the blackmail and increasingly vicious murders which have been engendered by the doctor's obsession. In the end Dr. Norton himself falls victim to the evil he has unleashed, but, as the curtain falls, we learn that he has not died in vain-his daughter, Marilyn, has donned her father's bloody apron and will carry on his "good work" for the betterment of mankind and the advancement of science. | |||||

Synopsis: | If you are looking for a spooky puzzle or an entertaining whodunit, you will find it in this cockeyed mystery spoof. A Hollywood psychic is murdered in the Laurel Canyon lodge that once belonged to a famous illusionist. Claire Voyant, a dingy psychic, shows up to investigate. She solicits help from Bella Donna, her nasty ventriloquist dummy Anne Boleyn (who has a terrible fear of axes), and the amazing Ernst Slater with x ray eyes. Add some bewildered police, a fish out of water niece, a ham actor, a crazed hermit, a walking lamp shade and other fun characters and you have a lampoon that is hysterically funny . Is the motive the mysterious book that explains The Great Marvel's illusions or is it something darker? What is that crawling in the cellar? Why are the coyotes howling? What happened on the lake? What is glowing in the hallway? | |||||

Synopsis: | It's a blast from the past when young composer Vic Ames finds himself hurtling back in time to the Eisenhower years! Everything is a problem for Vic, who is considered "weird" by the bobbysox crowd. Luckily, he's befriended by Electra, a self-proclaimed "eccentric." Together they manage to get Vic's parents together. Vic's conservative dad turns out to be a beatnik in his youth! They sidetrack Marlon Van Brut and his Wild Ones motorcycle gang and shake up the faculty and student body--but good. The empty stage is the basic set and the script has been written for easy-to-manage rehearsals. The sensational songs are pure dynamite: "Listen to the Beat," "Catch My Dust," Sweet Sixteen Turned Sour," "Ponytails," "All Rootie." If you're looking for a crowd-pleasing, upbeat, absolute joy of a musical comedy, go for this one. | |||||

Synopsis: | A young husband is forced to visit the country estate of his rich aunt-somewhere in the vast reaches of rural Russia. She is an eccentric and dislikable tyrant, and the nephew is nervous and upset because he fears the old lady will shame him in front of his shy, gentle bride. Their first contact is with the maid, who is disagreeable and rude, and the meeting with the aunt turns into a hilarious romp, as she talks to herself, smokes a cigar, and proves to have very few inhibitions, to say the least. The groom is certain his bride will be shocked into leaving him, but then she confesses her own dark secret-her relatives are, if anything, even worse! Anton Chekhov's blend of laughter and sentiment, and his uncanny perception of the interior workings of men and women are delightfully captured in the adaptation, and make this short play a gem of rich humor and characterization. The running time of the play is about twenty minutes. | |||||

Synopsis: | Seeking to escape the demands of life in London, Pam Fitzgerald and her brother, Roddy, an aspiring playwright, discover a charming house in the west of England, overlooking the Irish Sea. The house, Cliff End, has long been empty, and they are able to purchase it at a suspiciously low price from crusty Commander Brooke, the village curmudgeon. The reason is soon apparent: The house has an unsavory reputation. Fifteen years earlier a murder may or may not have occurred by the gnarled tree that can be viewed from the parlor window. Slowly the Fitzgeralds begin to sense the evil spirit that still inhabits the house, announcing its presence with a sudden, bone-chilling cold. Their housekeeper's cat will not enter the nursery, where the sound of a weeping woman adds to the tense atmosphere, and the scent of a flowery, exotic perfume called mimosa comes and goes. The village doctor, the local gossip, and a former governess visit, with strange stories of the beautiful Mary Meredith, who once lived in the house and of the striking, unstable Carmel, who posed for a painting that led to her destruction. With the help of Mary's daughter, Stella, a beautiful young girl whose mysterious birth holds the key to the puzzle, and a seance arranged by an actress friend of the Fitzgeralds, Cliff End is forced, at last, to reveal its dark secrets. The action then builds steadily to a truly terrifying climax, in which the ghost is discovered to be not only real but dangerous. | |||||

Synopsis: | Lord Ruthven, a charming but vicious vampyre with a taste for gambling, gains the confidence of Aubrey, a weak-willed young man who is dazzled by Ruthven's worldliness and urbanity. Through him Ruthven gains entrance to the stately country home of Aubrey's aunt, the rich but sharp-tongued Lady Harwood. As he draws Aubrey ever more deeply into debauchery and debt, the others try to loosen his hold on the impressionable youth, but to no avail. Before the evil Ruthven has "sated his thirst," murder, terror and mounting excitement rule the stage. None of the pretty young women in the household (Lydia, Melissa and Constance) are able to resist his sinister charm, nor can any of the men defeat him. Eventually Lord Ruthven claims Aubrey's all-too-willing sister as his bride, despite the growing, and well-founded, fears of the others that her very life may be in danger. Filled with those "penny dreadful" elements that audiences love-chills, thrills and black humor-this lively adaptation is both simple to produce and filled with well-balanced roles and climaxed with a final scene which is truly startling and electrifying. | |||||

Amid murder, madness, betrayal and vile deeds, the music is merry. There are even two fiendish murders set to music! The central character, villainous Sir Percival Glyde, and his cohort in crime Countess Fosco (Proprietor of a madhouse) are two of the vilest-- and funniest-- foul fiends ever set to toe tapping music. | |||||
