Synopses please!
The Last of the Steam-Powered Trains OR the Spirit of the 19th Century -by Evan Schenck
Theresa puts on a show -by A. Theresa
Some Redneck Tomfoolery -by Penny
A Child is Frightened by a Logical Syllogism with a False Premise by Katy Baggs
A Tall Tale - by Spencer Abbe
"Phallus Sea" - by James S. Roth
The Man Who was Burned Alive - by Mirri
If God Gives you Lemons Pour the Juice in Someone's Eye -by Some Punk (Eli)
The Tabular Adventures of the Table - by The Table
Speech for Forgotten Realms Club of Sciences - by President and Ceo: Norman R. Pace
The Family that Shits Together - by Dr. Mondo
I'm having a hard time remembering what titles go with what. I also missed some shows though.
I just wanted to say that I have a copy of "The Family that Shits Together" and I would like to see it in the show
I really like the peice to music and the star crunch bar by eli
I am convinced that most people are forgetting to vote for A Dance Party just because of it's ambiguous title. It's the one where Spencer got up on stage and proclaimed himself to be the dance king.
I'll selfishly second the nomination for "In the Act" by Montgomery Scott, as performed by me (one A. Burton) and Margie Dubé, because I thought Mr. Scott's script was excellent and it was a lot of fun to perform.
This was the piece about a man getting in touch with his more adventurous side at the urgent urgings of the woman he's been seeing.
I vote for "Who is Sunny and why is she on the couch" that didn't actually get performed. I wanna know!
I vote for whichever of the table pieces is the best one. I only saw one but I heard about others. I cannot wisely choose a specific table piece, but I nominate whichever one was the best.
I also nominate Phallus Sea by James S Roth and A Dance Party.
For those that don't remember Time Before Land, it was the one that involved Luke and Katie acting like fish, (Luke was the shark) darting around the stage,
