Utah for eleven years. He believes that Theatre can be exciting to everyone. therefore, he writes plays with a lot of action and humor in them to appeal to those who claim they "do not like plays." Strangely, when he was in high school in California, he never took a Drama class, but played in the pit band for all the musicals. as a student, except for being in the school band, Kamron and school did not get along. He believes that teachers should use more theatrical elements in education. Kamron lives with his beautiful wife, Kathy and his three charming daughters, Kortney, Katelynn and Karlee, and his son Keaton. He claims that everyone's name starting with a "K" is a huge coincidence. He tries to sneak his young daughters into all the high school plays. He also enjoys, juggling, magic, swing dancing and plays several instruments and thanks to a gift from his students, Stacey and Audrey, he is now learning to ride the unicycle.

Cinderstein
Synopsis:
Help! the local high school Drama teacher wrote his own version of CinderElla by combining the Princess's tale with the story of Frankenstein, but the production is bombing: the Fairy Godmother wants to be called the Fairy Goshmother, three new stepsisters must be added to the cast, several actors quit, and the extras are fed up with being extras. then, after being forced to play a girl, one of the boys worries that if his father, an avid sports fanatic, sees him his acting career will be over. Despite the director's explicit instructions that the Prince's Ball scene must be slow and elegant, the cast speeds it up to super-speed so that the boy won't be seen, but the actress playing the Queen is incapable of improvisation and can't keep up. When Dr. Frankenstein drops Cinderella's brain and replaces it with a cat's brain instead, this insane production changes beyond even the director's recognition.

Fat City
Synopsis:
the citizens of Fat City are fat. So fat the mayor decides to hold a contest to see who can make them thin. But when a likeable conman and his anorexic assistant wanders into town the citizens forget all about the contest when he offers them "Fat Be Gone" pills, the miracle pill that will make them all thin for just a small price. Jefferey, the town inventor, sees through this scam and continues with an invention to make them all thin. Things are going well until he falls in love with the anorexic assistant.
Notes:
every character in the play except Harry And Hallie Are extremely fat. the Actors should wear stretchy material for their costumes in order to put As much stuffing in As possible. It needn't look realistic either. Strange bulges will make it All the funnier. Another Note: Yes, I too wondered if those who Are more portly than others would be offended by this play, but As I, the Author, Am A bit rounder than I should be, was not offended I decided to give it A shot. It turned out that the biggest laughs And the biggest compliments came from the heftier Audience members. the bigger the Audience member the bigger the compliment.

Mid-School Night's Dream, A
Synopsis:
It seems that every theater in the world has a ghost or two who haunts it. The setting for this play is your school's theater and the ghosts who haunt it are up to their usual mischief. When that particularly pesky spirit, Peck, jumbles up the commands from his master, Cameron, King of the Dead, several living students in the school become the victims of mixed up love spells causing unplanned but hilarious chaos. The drama club also suffers the consequences of Peck's ghostly magic as they prepare a "Shakespearean" play to be performed for the entire school. But just as with Shakespeare, this modern tale of his classic work ends up as it should; with a happily ever after ending.

Santa and the Naughty Ninjas
Synopsis:
The leader of a band of naughty ninjas is determined to seek revenge against Santa for having received a lump of coal for Christmas instead of a Red Radio Flyer Wagon (and Numchuck Ninja is in desperate need of an Easy-Bake Oven). So, seven days before Christmas, the naughty ninjas arrive at Santa's workshop at the North Pole and demand that Santa turn over all his toys to them when they return on Christmas Eve. Santa realizes his elves are no match for the naughty ninjas, so he sends his elves out to find seven heroes to help battle the ninjas and save Christmas. The elves venture forth and return with an odd assortment of "heroes" including an evil clown, a mime, a cowboy actor, a nerdy scientist, and a guy who likes to wrap himself up like a Christmas present. When the naughty ninjas return on Christmas Eve, the heroes and elves are easily defeated as they square off against the ninjas. It looks as though Christmas may be ruined until a bumbling elf unleashes his secret heroes. Audience members get to join in on the fun by playing a host of hilarious roles in this delightful, interactive holiday show.
Notes:
This is an optional audience participation show in where the actors grab people out of the audience to play characters on stage within the story. Of course, this is completely optional. Actors could be substituted for audience members making the size of the cast even larger. If audience members are used, which is what makes the show really fun, then the actors must be prepared to improvise a little to make sure the audience members are standing in the right place, reacting the right way, etc.

Snow White and the Seven Mummies
Synopsis:
Help! That high school drama teacher, famous for disaster-prone productions is back! This time she has written a sequel to her first catastrophe, Cinderstein. But this one is even worse. As if Combining Snow White with the horror story of The Mummy wasn't ridiculous enough, the actress playing Snow is obsessed with kissing, while the actor playing Charming is shy and has never been kissed. The Evil Queen can't get the Mirror to enter on her cue, the blind extra and the deaf extra are have trouble communicating with each other, the assistant archeologist is obsessed with doing stunts, and the all the mummies' costumes are lost and have to be substituted with toilet paper. On top of these production nightmares, the school principal keeps interrupting to enforce preposterous school rules and force a Danish foreign exchange student, who doesn't speak English, into the play against her will. When Charming is accidentally knocked unconscious, the actors have to improvise as several of them try to replace him at the same time, changing this insane production into something so hideous that it's beyond even the director's recognition.
