“The Lottery” directed by Spencer D
Cast: 8m., 5w. (extras.) This unusual play with its shattering last scene has proven so successful it is probably winning more contests presently than any other short play. Published originally in the New Yorker magazine, it produced an unprecedented reaction, and this dramatization captures the story that has become an internationally known classic. Like the story, the play starts as people are assembling for the lottery. What family will it be this time? Which member? Only gradually do we begin to suspect the nature of the lottery as the play builds swiftly to its crucial and moving climax. The tension and thrill of the play are built into its very structure.
“Ha Ha House” directed by Fred F-J
Cast: 4M, 6F
Take the gruesome fun of a haunted house and transform it into a play and what do you get? Ha-Ha House! As the story goes, Brewster Havershome went bananas when his wife died-he was hauled off to the loony bin laughing insanely. They say he killed her himself! So naturally, four teenage girls are petrified when they stumble into the Ha-Ha House in search of a phone. When the more-than-creepy butler introduces them to the cook, who is dismembering something-or possibly someone!-for dinner, a comedy-of-terror takes hold! A floating head, a lost treasure and two young men to the rescue! The suspense kicks into high gear when Brewster Havershome escapes from the asylum, looking for his dead wife and his long lost treasure and wielding a cleaver! With a gaggle of goofy teenagers (one with a broken knee), two small-time crooks and a death-defying scramble to find the treasure and escape alive, you have a fast-paced comedy full of delight and fright. Easy to produce and great fun for everyone!
