Junior Players

This is a company I have worked with since 1987. I've been a teacher for after school drama and creative writing classes, was the program coordinator for one season, and I connected them to the Dallas Shakespeare Festival in 1992, when they formed a wonderful lasting relationship where Jr. Player's veteran young actors present a full Shakespearian show every year using the Shakespeare in the Park stage and resources.

I currently work Summers as an Integration Specialist with them, integrating the arts into education to teach core curriculum.

Fairy Tale Courtroom

Guilty or innocent? Only you can decide! The Big, Bad Wolf and the Wicked Witch are put on trial for bopping from fairy tale to fairy tale trying to prevent the public from living happily ever after.

The audience is the jury in this comedy the whole family will enjoy.

Cinderella vs. the Step Family

A Fairy Tale Courtroom event. Cinderella: Innocent victim or spoiled brat? The Step Family: Downtrodden family struggling just to make ends meet, or conniving females out to take what they can get? Who is really to blame?

In this Civil Suit, the audience decides who should be rewarded and who should be punished.

Shakespearian Shorts

A trilogy of classic Shakespeare; Tragicomedy with a twist:
• Hamlite: 95% less dialogue than ordinary Shakespeare,
  but all the action and death.
• Rome and Julie: A Tale of two cross-eyed lovers.
• MacBooth: Would you like friars with that?

Coming Soon! (Unpublished Works)

The Giant vs. Jack: A Fairy Tale Courtroom Event. What happened after the beanstalk incident? Is Jack a victim of circumstance or an opportunistic little thief? Is the Giant an evil ogre or just a misunderstood big lug? And who is the mysterious Beanseller, anyway?

Your vote counts to make sure justice is served!
