We're taking three short plays and rewriting the endings to merge them into one, somehow. One, Dinner with the Macguffins, is about a boy named James who, as the name suggests (paying homage to Alfred Hitchcock) ends up seeing past the fourth wall and into the audience when an audience member's cellphone rings (actually one of our cast disguised in the audience). Two agents from the government proceed to arrive and "contain" him. Very wacky play.
The other two are both rewrites of fairy tails. One, The Grimm Tales, is again, as the name would suggest, a rewrite of three brother Grimm tales where the women are protagonists who save themselves. The other is about Jack and Jill, and various variations of them where Jack and Jill are in Vaudeville, detectives, high school students, asian, etc.
Throughout the course of the production I'll have played an old, senile man who used to be a government agent, a male babysitter (who happens to be very creepy and suck at telling stories), an old lady, a gay guy, and a stuck up teenage girl.
