Bathroom Humor

by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore

This hilarious farce takes place in the bathroom in a home during a party, a handy place for gossip and hanky panky, where we learn of the wild and crazy things going on at the party. The authors have ingeniously contrived this play so that we feel that, if we had gone to this party we, too, might have spent most of our time hiding out in the bathroom!

Write About What You Know
- by Paul Gisby

 The play lifts the lid on a group of amateur writers who meet every month in their local scout hut to discuss their work, exchange tips and seek mutual encouragement. Closer examination of this cozy village scene reveals a whirlwind of love affairs, jealousy, rivalry, and literary one-upmanship, punctuated with readings of often excruciatingly funny amateur penmanship

Dead Air

The Valentine's Day Masseur Murder Mystery

Alberto Valentine's World-famous "Feel-Good Centres" were now available for international franchise investors, so Alberto was making his first infomercial - and 150 folks were in the audience.
Some patrons tried one of his Health Spa / Beauty Salon / Massage Parlour specialties and gave on-camera testimonies....

 

It was a BIG Production - the best Director, the best cameraman (even if he's a Pain!) - and a surprise Host!

 

Did Alberto make the killing he's hoping for? Well there WAS a killing that's for sure..

 

There was lots of audience participation in this one- and the event was considered a success !
