Default Scared Silly a Silent One Act

I just found out that one of my vaudeville plays WILL be produced in October! It isn't the French Cafe play that I was originally trying to fund and get produced a couple of months back (unfortunately that show is too long for this festival) but the committee let me pitch them some shorter story ideas and have given me a slot in the line up!

The festival is comprised of one act plays with a Halloween theme. I had scribbled some notes in my Moleskine last year which I used for the basis of this play and with some standards from my street act I've put together an outline for the show.

It takes place backstage in a dressing room between two vaudevillians preparing to go on stage and a ghost. My clown partner is arranging for a pianist so we wont need to use canned music from a CD. I have heard the plays are being filmed too and if so you'll be able to find it on my YouTube channel as soon as I get it up.

Performances run October 17th - November 1st. I can't wait.

Thanks! I'm hoping it's the first in a long run of new vaudeville style plays I've wanted to do for almost a decade!

What is it with Northerners that put sugar in cornbread?? Thats not cornbread! When you put sugar in cornbread it becomes CAKE!!!

Put the sugar in the tea! Thats where it belongs! I like my tea to be so sweet that I can pour it on my pancakes if I run out of syrup!
