The Perils of Modern Education is a hilarious romp through the chaos of school life - standardized theatre tests, caffeine withdrawal, even Shakespeare stressing over his college essay! Gender-flexible, easy to stage, and full of laughs.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin
adapted by Mrs. Evelyn Merritt from Robert Browning
The people of Hamelin are in a terrible way! They're being run over by rats.
Rats! They fought the dog and killed the cats, and ate the cheese out of the vats, made nests inside men's Sunday hats, and even spoiled the women's chats.
When the Piper comes to solve their rat problems, it looks like Hamelin is saved. Or is it?
There are consequences for those who do not pay the piper. Ever wonder where the phrase "Pay the piper" comes from?
