Synopsis

These "quickie" melodramas are superb money-makers because they can be inexpensively produced with just four to six rehearsals, and audiences love them. The playbook gives some great suggestions for opening with a sing-along, including a lot of audience-participation foolishness. You can also add music to underscore the melodrama, and each play has a fairly transparent place to put in some dancing. Specialty numbers and entr'actes may be added. High Noon in Gloomtown: A Wild-West shoot-'em-up with a mean villain, brave hero, delectable heroine, and lots of handsome guys and pretty gals. The Sword in the Styrofoam: A King Arthur slice-'em-up. The villainous king kidnaps the beautiful princess and locks her in a tower. Then along comes the knight in shining armor to save her and set everything right in the world. How Timely Nick and Betty Brown Formed a Conglomerate: A 1920s gangster stick-'em-up. Betty Brown, the heroine, is a bag lady, and the hero, Timely Nick, shows up in the nick of time.
