No Horse Town
by Lindsay Price Canadian Author
Heywood is a special kind of place. A small town where everyone knows everyone.
When Jimmy wants to do something that proves he's a man, the whole town knows before he's even finished the thought.
In Heywood, when a guy wants to prove he's a man, he goes to the edge of town. For there's something at the edge of town that can't be found in Heywood: A street.

Customer Feedback
I loved this script, and the kids did, too!
Our production of No Horse Town won the Outstanding Production Award at our NTS District and we are moving on to Regionals.
We received two awards of merit at the NTS South Regionals - acting for the role of Ma and technical direction.
I thought it (No Horse Town) was a great piece. The stylized comedy and characters were great to tackle. I love the way you write and your subject matters. Keep up the good work and we will keep producing it.
