SYNOPSIS:
You’ll find laughs galore in this murder mystery farce that spoofs the private eye shows of the past.
It’s the story of Crimson House, a seedy hotel where the guests pay outrageous rent for shoddy service. Arriving on the scene is that famous, inept, yet very funny Hoboken detective, Hercules Porridge, who goes by Junior.
A corpse has been discovered in the sitting room, and a beautiful secretary is done in by deadly orchid juice. Who could have done such dastardly deeds? The guest list includes a mystery writer, Anguish Crispie, an eccentric young man who dresses like a jungle explorer, and a strange actress who always dresses in black. Or maybe it’s Colonel Chutney, a crazy neighbor, who thinks he’s in India in 1880. There’s also Jeeves, the butler, who has a wandering mind.
Thrills and chills collide with sidesplitting laughter as the case is surprisingly solved by Detective Porridge.

The Wizard of Oz meets Choose Your Own Adventure in this fresh and fast-paced retelling of the L. Frank Baum classic in which the audience plays playwright and gets the chance to change everything from Dorothy's footwear (silver slippers or ruby red...clown shoes?) to Toto's species (lion, tiger or octopus?—oh my!) to the Witch's flying footmen. A delight for children of all ages, Choose Your Own Oz reminds us all that at the end of the day, there really is no place like home.

SYNOPSIS:
Winner of the Beverly Hills Theatre Guild Play Competition for Youth Theatre. Published by Pioneer Drama Service.
In this witty film noir fairytale spoof, Fairytale Land has been hit by a crime wave. The Three Bears’ home was broken into. The Three Little Pigs’ homes were destroyed. Now Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother is missing.
The crimes seem unrelated, at least if you listen to those shady Grimm brothers. But could an evil mastermind be behind them all?
Something punny is going on! Only hard-boiled detective Rumpelstiltskin and his wise-cracking partner Ugly Duckling can solve this wacky case.
Full of hilarious roles and snappy one-liners, this private eye parody is pure gold!
