We will be singing a few numbers (Season of Love, Producers Medley, Mama Mia Medley etc). We will be doing a few basics sketches ("Theatre People in the Real World", LYT presents modern songs done as monologues, "Why techies should stay in the booth" etc). We will also being using Shel’s Shorts.

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
by Rich Orloff
This farcical retelling of the Oedipus Rex story confronts the overlooked fact that if Oedipus married his mother, she had to be old enough to be his mother. 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...
