Spotlight! E-News from Theatrefolk

Issue 34 - What’s New?
This month we have interviews and articles regarding our newest scripts.
Floating On A Don’t Care Cloud
Floating on A Don’t Care Cloud deals with marijuana use in high school. A younger sister watches her once-close older brother slip away. He doesn’t care about anything else but getting high. What does the sister do; does she rat? Does she let him go? Is she overreacting? Is it “just pot?” Read More.

Prom Night
We’re happy to have a new writer in the Theatrefolk catalogue, Sylvia Davenport-Veith. Her play Prom Night is a wonderful bittersweet character piece; two teens who would never meet, let alone talk in the halls of their high school, open up to each other in the aftermath of the Prom. They’ve each had disastrous dates, and on a moonlit night they tell the truth and share secrets they’ve never told another soul. Read More.

The Revolting Cheerleaders
For years the cheerleaders have served a pre-game snack to the players without complaint. But some of the girls have had enough of it. Will they get thrown off the squad? What will happen if the linebacker doesn’t get his Twinkies? And how does a guy shower while wearing a football helmet? All these questions and more are answered in The Revolting CheerleadersRead More.

Anonymous
Upcoming this January we’ll have a very interesting addition to the Theatrefolk Catalogue. Anonymous is the story of every teenager: the new kid trying to fit in, the best friends, the love interests, the kid in the corner with their secret, the group of individuals each trying to belong. The teenagers of Anonymous have no names - because they are “Me” and “You”. Read More.

The Snow Show
The Snow Show is our latest vignette play. Most plays I write for Theatrefolk come out of talking to teachers and students, overhearing what they say in front of the table at conferences, responding when I get the same “Do you have a play about…” request a couple of times in a row. It’s the quickest way to get feedback! Read More.
