Synopsis

"I'm a drama teacher," Marge begins, which explains why she is now kept sedated and in a straitjacket.

"All I had to do was be in charge of the whole shebang."

Of course, she is referring to The One Act Play Festival - scheming rival students, demanding directors, irresponsible actors, missing props, stolen costumes, and all under forty minutes.

What happened to the lady who ran it last year?

She died under very suspicious circumstances.

Adding to Marge's anxiety is the fact that two of the three competing schools are doing Hamlet and must rehearse on the same stage at the same time!

Shakespearean skulls and battle axes fl y in this fast-paced farce.

Will Marge get this contest done before it undoes her?

This scathing piece of theatrical Americana comes from the author of Murder, You Must be Kidding!
