It’s Not Just Your Right – It’s Your Duty
Cast:
10 Principle Characters It’s Election Day, and 18 year old Billy, much to the shock and horror of his best friend Ashton, has decided not to exercise his constitutional right to vote. In spite of all of Ashton’s desperate pleas, Billy remains convinced that his vote will not make a difference in the upcoming election. It takes the statue of America’s favorite Uncle to come to life and try to set Billy on the right track. Through the magic of theatre, Uncle Sam takes Billy and Ashton on a unique odyssey beginning with the American Revolution and continuing through the Civil War, Women’s Suffrage, and ending with a final poignant stopover at Arlington Nation Cemetery. At each destination, Billy and Ashton are introduced to all the historical giants that helped shape our great nation. Together they will attempt to alter Billy’s attitude toward his country’s greatest gift and responsibility. Pricing: $5.00 per script - $20.00 per performance. Minimum Script order - Twelve (12) scripts To Order or for more information E-Mail: melodramamike@hotmail.com

4 Women It is 3:00 am on Christmas Eve in a typical Mid-western airport. Everything seems to be operating normally, only, much to the dismay of the waiting airline passengers, none of the scheduled flights are taking off. Waiting for departure are a wild range of characters all of whom have many personal and family issues that, for a variety of reasons, have gone unresolved. At the center of the action is the kindly Ticket Agent, George Carrington who does his best to keep everyone calm, while at the same time, gently guiding them towards conflict resolution. As we move through to the poignant and heartfelt ending, George’s words, “the plane will leave when everyone is ready” become very prophetic indeed. Pricing: $5.00 per script - $20.00 per performance. Minimum Script order - Twelve (12) scripts To Order or for more information E-Mail: melodramamike@hotmail.com
