ABE by Dudley Saunders, Sr. premiered at Indiana Repertory Theatre. The play is a powerful and entertaining weaving of history and dramatic imagining about Abraham Lincoln's full and challenging life from age 7- 21. CAST: 7 (2F, 5M) minimum or up to 17 (6F, 11M) with roles distributed. (NEW-available late August 2008)

LEAVING HANNIBAL (Mark Twain) by Mary Collins Barile. Dreams, hopes, and carnival-hypnotism mix-up the past and present life of 18 year old Samuel Clemmons, challenging him to step into his future. The play is designed for simple set, suitable for touring. Period costumes. Music of the period suggested throughout. CAST: 9 minimum (3F, 6M), or up to 13 (5F, 8M) with roles distributed.  (NEW-available September 2008)

LEGEND OF THE POINSETTIA by Roxanne Schroeder-Arce premiered at Plano Repertory Theatre, Plano, TX. Thirteen-year-old Estrella, who calls herself “Star” to gain acceptance from the non-Latino students at the Catholic school she attends, is torn between her family’s cultural traditions and the exciting life she imagines exists in the homes of mainstream Americans. Woven with Spanish and English throughout, this is as heartwarming, contemporary story about family, redemption, and the true miracle of giving, with a dramatic ending that is touching and visually surprising. Setting simple or elaborate, as desired. Contemporary Costumes. CAST: 12 (6F, 4M, 2 Either) PLUS CHORUS or 5 WITH DOUBLING (3F, 2M) PLUS CHORUS. Good roles for teens. (NEW-available September 2008)
