What they are saying:

Amy Brock, drama teacher, Greenbrier High School, Greenbrier, Ark.

... Simply a brilliant piece. I have a large and very diverse group of students ... this was the perfect choice! We couldn’t stop laughing on the first read-through! We were immediately hooked. John Haman created characters that are unforgettable and fun for everyone!

Sarah Haman, Drama Teacher, Lakeside High School, Hot Springs, Ark.

... a rollicking, fast-paced romp of a one-act. Possibilities for physical comedy, sight gags, and general silliness abound. Cast size and composition is extremely flexible, and so are the technical requirements. Perfect for competitions and as an addition to a night of one-act plays.
