Angry Young Women in Low-Rise Jeans with High-Class Issues - Matt Morillo - Bog - Samuel French Inc - Plusbog.dk

Angry Young Women in Low-Rise Jeans with High-Class Issues - Matt Morillo - Bog - Samuel French Inc - Plusbog.dk

Comedy /6m, 7f (flexible casting if actors play multiple roles) / Simple Sets This outrageous new comedy is told in five outrageously funny parts and it's all about young women and the various issues they confront today. It's part sit-com, part stand-up comedy and part sketch-comedy. This collection of vignettes parades a series of foxy, witty and anxious women who bear the expectations of the world like an itchy muffler. These girls are coffee-driven, sensitive, wired, misunderstood and fuming with awkward issues. They are frustrated with the way of the world, the perceptions men have of them and their own reactions to it. How, for example, do you resolve contradictions like dressing as a hooker and still being a feminist? So they go head to head with such issues as Electra complexes, bikini waxes, low rider jeans, their oversexed mothers, thongs, brazen teenagers, men's sexual fantasies, side effects of birth control drugs, mean teenagers on the subway, sympathy sex and the artistic integrity of penises and vaginas in independent films. This play has great material for scene and monologue work as well as for performance.

Fubar - Karl Gajdusek - Bog - Samuel French Inc - Plusbog.dk

Fubar - Karl Gajdusek - Bog - Samuel French Inc - Plusbog.dk

Drama/ Characters: 3m, 2f Mary and David, camped out amidst the boxes her abused mother left behind, are unpacking a small San Francisco apartment. Outside, people self-actualize like crazy, riding the bubble. When Mary herself is the victim of an unprovoked act of violence, it leads the pair down different paths of addiction and realization: one to the violence itself, one to the abuse of cat tranquilizers. Meanwhile, Richard is a benevolent drug dealer working on his book while Sylvia wants to use the internet to double her life. Drugs are consumed, David is tempted, Mary's anger rises, and a gun is found among the house's boxed possessions, as the mood spirals into delirium. FUBAR is the story of four people trying to recognize the people they are becoming in a time that's totally F.U.B.A.R. (F*cked up Beyond All Recognition). "A writer for Showtime's "Dead Like Me," Gajdusek has a TV scripter's flair for snappy dialogue, but he also has a much rarer talent for deep characterization and empathy, even when dealing with his most contemptible characters."- Variety "The dot-com bubble - well, its splintered psyches - are the subject of the feverish FUBAR, an engrossing evocation of a time (the turn of the millennium) and a place (San Francisco, awash in Web money, pharmaceutical acronyms and online sexual encounters)...the play rings true in feeling if not in plausibility...Mr. Gajdusek has a gift for the humorous moment...the production pulses like an all-night Ecstasy-fueled rave...FUBAR, leaves you with a decent buzz." - The New York Times

The Faculty Room - Bridget Carpenter - Bog - Samuel French Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Faculty Room - Bridget Carpenter - Bog - Samuel French Inc - Plusbog.dk

Dark Comedy / Characters: 5m, 1f / Interior In The Faculty Room, Bridget Carpenter explores the darker side of high school life from the inside of that mythic room, the teacher's lounge. English teacher Adam, Drama teacher Zoe and Ethics teacher Bill, along with mysterious new World History teacher Carver, are all taunted by the disembodied voice of Principal Dennis on the P.A. system. Dedicated yet desperate, inspired yet burnt out, hateful yet loving - the teachers of Madison Feury High are a bundle of contradictions in Carpenter's rich portrait. A funny and caustic look at how truly f*cked up the relationships between teachers and students can get, The Faculty Room erupts with gunshots, desperate longing, and a growing wave of spiritual fanaticism. Our education system may never recover. Winner of the Kesselring Prize for Playwriting. "Lively black comedy...A rollercoaster course...Shalwitz gives the evening a snappy, agitated flair. The design supports the script intelligently." - City Paper "The three lead actors [Bowen, Anderson & Russotto] bring a lot of humor to their roles. The dialogue is sharp." - Washingtonian "A delightful madhouse [of] over-the-edge teachers...A riot" - Arlington Weekly News "Witty dialogue & fine acting [in] this engaging play" - The Economist. com/Cities Guide "Outrageous circumstances. Howard Shalwitz's good-looking production strikes the right tone. Underplayed pretty much to perfection by Michael Willis...Megan Anderson is an appealing presence." - Washington Post "Cutthroat portrayals by Bowen & Anderson...Woolly should be commended for their unwavering commitment to new work" - Washington Times "Clever one-liners abound...a biting, caustic vision" - DCist.com "Woolly Mammoth's usual excellence characterizes the design team - refreshing & funny" - DC Theatre Reviews

Buddy Cop 2 - Paul Thureen - Bog - Samuel French Inc - Plusbog.dk

Buddy Cop 2 - Paul Thureen - Bog - Samuel French Inc - Plusbog.dk

Dark Comedy Characters: 2 male, 2 female Interior Two cops...in the kind of quiet little town where a kid dreams of growing up to be a fireman. Or a racecar driver. Where the only question you ask yourself at the end of the day is if you're gonna knock back your cold one at Swanky's, Spanky's, or Zingers. A town where neighbors pitch in to help neighbors in need, and where if you wake up in the middle of the night...you should keep your eyes closed. Because the man in red is there in the corner. Watching you. Smiling at you with his yellow eyes and black teeth. Best to pretend you're still asleep. In this comedic action/mystery of holiday nostalgia and athletic rigor, when a flood destroys the police station, the local cops set up shop in the nearby community center. Mysteries emerge. Criminals are chased. Racquetball is played. In this town, nothing is what it seems...or is it? "Set in the 1980s, this downtown gem, full of minor-key revelations and offhand epiphanies, roots its quirky charm in an earnest and surprising realism. This charming, offbeat play from the Debate Society of Brooklyn is sneakily funny, but not at the expense of its characters, mumbling sweeties who play bingo, collect beer cans, and take pride in their work." -The New York Times "Packed with nonchalant theatrics and smoldering intensity. Bos, Thureen, and Butler have woven an accomplished yarn." -Back Stage. "Wistful and sweet and uncanny. The delightful, oddly delicate Buddy Cop 2 is steeped in Christmas cheer. FOUR STARS. Critics' Pick." -Time Out New York "Wonderfully entertaining. Funny, Charming, and perfectly pitched." - NYTheatre. com

Barbara's Blue Kitchen - Lori Fischer - Bog - Samuel French Inc - Plusbog.dk

Comedy with Music Characters: 1 male, 1 or 2 female, flexible casting Interior Set Set in a small town just outside of Nashville, this slice-of-life comedic play with music is a genuine look into the hearts of everyday people. As the proprietor, Barbara Jean, tries to figure out "When is it courageous and when is it just plain crazy to hang on to love," her customers come in and take a load off by sharing their funny, heartbreaking humanity. There's Miss Morris a nurse who's planning a Pyramid prayer-time, Miss Tessie, a senior citizen who's gonna make you laugh and steal your heart, a Tupperware brandishing, plate-dropping waitress named Jeanette, Lombardo-a country-singing hairdresser, Tommy Lee, who is recovering from a dog-bite and Melissa a mixed-up Mother of three. Throughout it all, the wacky DJ from WATR, the local radio station, breaks in with local news, commercials about baldness and whole slew of quirky, unforgettable toe-tapping songs. "In fact, it's a perfectly judged balance of flavors-exactly what you'd hope for in theatrical comfort food." -Time Out New York "Winsome and winning...alive with homespun charm. In short, this countrified pocket musical is a little miracle of art and heart." -TheatreMania "Funny stuff! Wonderful! You got to go see this show!" -WOR Radio "A slice of theatre as tasty and tangy as a piece of peach pie...Barbara's Blue Kitchen: this is a place where people actually eat together in community, rather than in their own separate worlds." -Show Business "Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, it's a pleasure to spend time in Barbara's Blue Kitchen." -Traveler's USA Notebook "It's a tasty down-home dish..." -BACKSTAGE.com "The charismatic Lori Fischer serves up a sort of down-home Bridge and Tunnel with Barbara's Blue Kitchen..." -HX Magazine "Like Greater Tuna and Steel Magnolias, Barbara's Blue Kitchen, a play with music by and starring Lori Fischer, echoes the eccentric humor and pathos of former explorations into the human and humorous southern gothic landscape...a lovely variety of moods ranging from rueful to toe-tapping..." -New York News "Ms. Fischer has a lot of strengths, chief among them the truth that rings through ...her monologues ...She also has a sure ear for a down-home truism." -The Cincinnati Enquirer "...Wonderful, reminiscent of Garrison Keillor's weekly monologue on 'A Prairie Home Companion. ' It's tinged with gentle humor, affection and wisdom." -The Daily Gazette "Perfection...Great theatre..." -East Side Life "The playwright and actress herself is the intersection of seven memorable characters ...it's easy to see why people would want to hang out in her diner." -Cincinnati City Beat
