Dead, Juliet!
by Allison Williams

Juliet has had enough! Enough with the poison, enough with the stabbing,
and especially enough with the dying. She wants a new story and she
wants it now. More parts for girls! More romance! Less death!
Romeo and Juliet will never be the same - or will it? Not everyone's so
keen on the changes. And why is Romeo sneaking off with Rosaline?

Drum Taps
adapted by Lindsay Price from Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
http://www.theatrefolk.com
Did you ask dulcet rhymes from me?
Did you seek the civilian's peaceful and languishing rhymes?
The poems in Drum Taps represent Walt Whitman's firsthand account of the
Civil War. See the words, the emotion, the blood come to life in this
theatrical adaptation. This is not your traditional readers theatre or
poetry recital. This is flesh and bone words breathed to their fullest
humanity. This is struggle and pain. This is confusion and
contradiction. This is war.

Everybody knows a secret. Some keep them quiet. Some let them loose.
Some make them larger than life. Secrets, lies and rumours are the
subject of Have You Heard?
This monologue-based play follows what happens in a school when rumours
and secrets spin out of control. What makes a secret more powerful: When
it's the truth? Or when it's a lie?

PAINT!

PAINT!
by Robin Seidman
This colorful, comedic tale, complete with a singing Fish and dancing Cow,
paints the story of young painter Marc Chagall’s quest to be an artist.
Through fanciful biographical scenes where he must get permission from his
parents and extended family, his childhood journey to art school artfully,
playfully, comes to life.
When MARC
discovers color, he begins to dream of being an artist. But PAPA says that
painting’s not a profession for Jewish boys. He should be a fishmonger like
his PAPA. His beloved moo-se, COW, suggests they go to school to see if MARC can
find his colors. PROFESSOR CHICKEN explains how Math correlates with Art. MARC
learns the connection between art and math, and so the CHICKEN gives him yellow.
The duo return from Shabbat dinner to find that MAMA understands MARC’s
desire, but she wants a better life for him. She encourages him to see UNCLE N,
the family sage, who greets them on the city rooftop, playing the violin
disparagingly. He reminds Marc that painting human faces is forbidden. When MARC
draws his UNCLE surrealistically,he
discovers that if he paints human bodies with animal faces he may not be going
against his religion, so he is reunited with the color red. The family gathers
to grant MARC permission to see Yehuda PONY, the art teacher, who announces that
Marc has talent Since MARC learned how to integrate his passion with his
religion, the Chagall family supports MARC in his dream to pursue his art.

The Wizard of Oz (a modernized version)
by
Mary Gray
http://www.SPOTLIGHTMUSICALS.COM
In the last one hundred years, many versions of the original L. Frank Baum story have appeared as plays, musicals, movies, and spin offs. This version adds to the tradition a musical that is entertaining to kids of this generation- not only for those who see it, but for those who perform in it. It touches on issues such as technology, self esteem, and youthful restlessness. The Scarecrow is a very clever young man who happens to have a learning disability, specifically, he can’t read. The Tin Man is a robot who aspires to be more like a real human. The Lion is not really a lion at all, but becomes one in his heart by proving his bravery. The Wizard is an inventor stuck in Oz when he impulsively tries out his alternate universe machine on himself. And Dorothy is a dissatisfied teenager who’s not sure what she wants in life. The songs are modern rock styles and lend themselves to contemporary dance moves.
