About this ebook
This play is about a traveling performing troupe that has come to town. The owners get everyone organized; the actors make some changes; the stagehands go spread the word through town; and the townspeople arrive. What a show as the villains take on the heroes and the vaudevillians perform in between acts. The audience joins the townspeople in cheering, sighing and booing for the hero, villains, and heroine. Original songs: We’re Traveling Performers; Don’t Give Me a Home; Again a Successful Show.
RUNNING TIME: 30 minutes

NOTE: Permission required to perform this play. Contact info on copyright page.
Marian Scadden
Marian Scadden reads a lot, and likes to write in theater-esque and other genres, such as Young Adult fantasy, Middle Grade stuff, and Picture Books. She loves playing board games with her family, especially when she wins. Marian graduated in Children's Theatre from Brigham Young University decades ago, more or less. Writing books and plays is not quite as long as that. She started writing plays so she wouldn't have to pay royalties when directing them; she started writing picture books to see if she could and she advanced to novels in 2009 when she participated in National Novel Writing Month. It's kind of exciting.
