June Session - Here we go again
The Greek Mythology Olympiaganza (Iliad! Iliad! Iliad!)by Don Zolidis
Complete with little green army men, a beauty pageant, and warring narrators, this is The Iliad as you've never seen it before. Two narrators have a blast recreating Homer's quintessential epic myth at a rapid pace and in wildly varying styles, as it morphs seamlessly from a musical, a modern drama, and a bizarre one-man show. This side-splitting parody is both hysterical and historical -- the perfect opportunity to laugh while you learn!

Violence in Shakespeare? Gone. And what about those pesky sex scenes? The ScriptCleaner5000 has got you covered!
The Fifteen Minute Hamlet

The Hardy Boys and the Mystery of Where Babies Come From
Christopher Durang
Frank and Joe Hardy change sweaters a lot and look cute. The word "sleuthing" excites them and they're off to investigate what it means that Nancy Drew has "a bun in the oven."
July Session - I love a parade
Judgment Day
by Chris Sheppard and Jeff Grove
You work yourself to the bone preparing your entry for the local high-school (or college) one-act play festival. You proudly present your show to the other participating schools. All goes well until you face...the judges. How on earth do they come up with such mean, cruel, pointless things to say? This hilarious poison-pen valentine to adjudicators everywhere reveals the surprising answer!
The SeussOdyssey
by Don Zolidis
Not in the mood for homework? Let Narrator 1 and 2 take you on a literary journey, and watch as Homer's Odyssey is transformed into the style of Dr. Seuss. Complete with a singing Cyclops ("Oh the sights you can spy with only one eye!"), the slaughter of the suitors acted out with teddy bears, and the sorceress Circe serving up crew members with a side of green eggs, The SeussOdyssey is a hilarious and speedy reimagining of the classic epic.
Oedi

When Oedipus' two advisors first explain to him that he married his mother, he's distraught. But Jocasta and the advisors only want to find a way to spin the story so that Oedipus looks good...
