Theatrefolk Featured Play: Malled by Colleen Neuman

Welcome to our Featured Play Spotlight. We’re excited to feature Malled by Colleen Neuman – a collection of two plays with some great parts for girls. Many things happen in a mall. Heartbreak, uncomfortable truths, true friendship, cosmic questions with your french fries. In ellenalicemonajune, characters share those uncomfortable truths that only close friends can tell each other, particularly regarding a boyfriend who wears red leather pants. In Yes Virginia, There is a Virginia An ordinary shopper survey takes absurd twists and turns for Virginia as she struggles to answer the surprisingly cosmic question: Is Ann Landers real? Why did we publish this play? I love the contrast in these two pieces – the real world of teens and the completely absurd world of shopper surveys, Ann Landers, and Aunt Flossie. The mall is a place where anything can happen! And the fact that they both feature all female casts, these plays make for a great option if you’ve got tons of girls in your class. Let’s hear from the author!
