I know we'd love to do it at our theatre sometime within the near future.

 

You can read some of it here:

 

Here's the issue as I see it with this play, and I'd like to put this up to the community. I wrote it as a one-act for a group of kids who were indeed parodying Clue, and it ended up landing in a kind of in-between length--right now the show runs something like 50 minutes, and there are up to 11 separate endings that could be voted on by the audience that would extend the show.

 

So here's my question: Would it be worth my while to revisit the play, extend it to, say, 90 minutes, so that with the alternate endings it would be a true full-length show? Do you think that would coax more community theatres to produce it? (and it's not as if the show isn't ever produced, it probably gets 10 productions a year or so, but it's mostly done by schools)

 

I'll make this offer. If a community theater out there goes ahead and buys the rights to perform the show from Playscripts, I will write you a new version of this play that works out to a full-length. You can use the new version for your production and only pay the cost of a one-act performance (right now the play is $40 a performance, which is a pretty good deal). The deal is good until Playscripts publishes the new, full-length version of the show.

 

Anyone interested?

I am also curious how it would be stretched.

 

I love the audience involvement too.

My thought for performing it would be to have the cast rehearse the 3 or 4 endings we liked the best and then just put those possble endings into the voting.  So, we would hand out the vote cards to the audience and it would say to vote for "Terragon, Uno, Daphne or Isis'" for example.  That way they wouldn't have to memorize all 11 endings =)

Then we would perorm all 4 endings with the voted one being last. 

 

My mom is the president of a community theatre here in town - I am going to ask her what she thinks of this idea. 

I'm a big Don Zolidis fan -- we've done his plays the last 2 years at festival (Bobby Wilson can eat his own Face" and "Feed the Whales"
