Power Play
Theatrefolk:

A gunshot is heard. Which of the five characters did it and why? Was it the Goth girl? The football star? The super-intelligent geek? High school violence is a hot media topic, but it is too often simplistically portrayed by putting teens into tidy categories and pointing at the outsider. Power Play explores the realities and the stereotypes of high school violence - not just the brutal shock of the school shooting, but also verbal harassment and bullying. Violence is about power. So is high school.

Circus Olympus
Theatrefolk:

The circus has come to town! Well& sort of. There's no elephant on a bicycle but there are the Greek Geeks and have they got a story or two to tell. More specifically, a myth or two: Pandora's Box, Persephone and the Underworld, King Midas, Athena and Arachne, and don't forget the Mythapalooza Slam Jam! A gleeful celebration with excellent large cast expansion and parts for all abilities. Circus elements are optional and are suggested for each myth. THREE different lengths are included: Two Acts, One Act, or a 20 minute Competition Piece.
