And Action

Dan Roth
This hilarious comedy is the perfect vehicle for all theatre groups. Using the "play within a play" format, the work follows a troupe of actors as they prepare for the staged reading of a new play. "Murphy's Law" reigns supreme, as the harried director deals with: an angry leading man; know-it-all juvenile; a miffed grande dame and a tardy, manipulative ingenue.

Incredible Rump

Synopsis:
Two car salesmen, Dave and Jim, try to figure out why Dave is not meeting his monthly sales quota. We learn that the dwindling sales figures are directly attributable to Dave's appearance as an actor in a friend's musical satire INCREDIBLE RUMP. The play, based on Rumplestilskin, has some dark moments but, as Dave says, "it has a happy ending."
