Shameless Plug Time!

 I'm nothing if not honest. 

Some will agree with the first part of that sentence.

Few will admire my integrity.

Most won't give a flying fig.

The truth is I don't know what I'm doing nor have I ever, but I keep plugging at it anyway because I don't how to quit either.

That being said (or written) I have yet to mention on this forum that I have completed my first melodrama earlier this year and felt it was high time I did. So here 'tis.

CURSES! OILED AGAIN! or (wait for it) NO CRUDE FOR A RUDE DUDE is a one act, one set play with six-count 'em-six characters. The plot, such as it is, follows:


THAR'S OIL IN THAT SOIL! 

When oil is discovered underneath Nana Nanette's dirt farm deep in the heart of Texas, the vultures begin to swarm. Villain-in-training Creighton Cretin and his cousin, the dastardly diva known as Delilah Deluscious seek to to steal that land right from underneath Nana's nose. But she's got a pair of aces on her side-future Texas Ranger Buck N. Bronco and her granddaughter Bonnie Bluebonnet, a finishing school graduate with a mean right hook. And who is this Slap Happy Pappy, the kooky old cuss who found that black gold in the first place? (If you find out, let him know cuz he ain't got a clue)

CURSES! OILED AGAIN! is (according to the press release) a rollicking comic melodrama perfect for both amateur and professional stage productions. Performance rights are available by writing to me:

This script is currently available as a PDF download at the low, low price of $1.99 for a limited time only (until 6/23) at Lulu.com where you can find an array of my other works as well. Look around. Maybe you'll see something you like. 


Remember that with every sale of this or anything else of mine, an angel gets its wings.


And every story has an origin. 


Coming up, the answer to this and more probing questions.
