I just saw "Three Days of Rain" at North Dakota State University. Two men, one woman. First act set in modern day, second act set in early 1960s. A beautiful script, apparently destroyed by Julia Roberts in 1997, unfortunately. I really loved this show. It takes place in a NY apartment that is run down in 2000 and nice 4 decades earlier, so it was a fun transition.

"Three Days of Rain" is a wonderful play. I've seen it twice - once here at Yale, and the Broadway production with Julia Roberts (which I thought was quite good and didnt think Julia Roberts was bad at all!).

Ohhh, Agnes of God.... nice story, good idea Tristan. So, thoughts on this one from folks? Admonitions, advice, history, how did it play for you?
Frankly, it got my attention because like most of you, I suspect, our female to male ratio is about 5 to 1, so when I can find a play that features women, it gets my attention quickly! thanks! Larry |

Hey Marty,
Yes, it did make it easy for me and that's what I was searching for. Without a wealth of background knowledge and long experience in theater (just the RESPONSIBILITY of developing a successful season) I need all the help and advice I can get. Larry |

The Cemetery Club--excellent--very dramatic with comic movements, but a tour-de-force for a good group of actresses. |

Anne of Green Gables by Sylvia Ashby (Baker Plays) is great. Can be done by youth or adults. Very dramatic scenes.
The Mousetrap is a great who-dun-it drama. (SF--by Agatha Christie)
