Bumbling producer Burbage and his irate associate Iggy have put together a Shakespeare convention, at which the actors perform four plays and a sonnet in a rather unconventional manner.

This script features comic (game show) version of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo & Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew, and King Lear.

This version of Little Women features only female characters and covers about half of the typical story of the four March sisters (it ends when Father returns home from the Civil War; after Beth has been ill, but prior to her death; when Meg has just become engaged and Amy is told she may go to Europe with Aunt March).
Characters: Jo, Meg, Beth, Amy, Marmee, Aunt March, Hannah, Aunt Carroll, Sally Moffatt
Time Period: Civil War, 1860’s.
Spaces in Class: 8

If there are NOT 8 upper level high school students interested, 3 of the spaces (which will be the designated smaller roles) may be filled by anyone age 12+. Siblings will receive these spaces first if desired. Rate for taking a smaller part is reduced to typical teen registration vs. upper high school class.
