Author's Notes:
Town Council was conceived and presented as a staged reading by the Academy Acting Ensemble of Sinsinawa, Wisconsin. The first performance was presented by Platteville High School, Platteville, WI on October 18, 2008, as an entry in the 2008 Wisconsin High School Forensics Association’s Fall Play Festival. The play was performed at district and sectional competitions before advancing to the state level of the festival held on the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse campus. At the state competition held on November 20-21, 2008, the cast and crew of Town Council received the All-State Award. The play was also performed by the Plum River Players of Stockton, Illinois, November 1-2, 2008.
 
Synopsis
The town council for the small town of Town, U.S.A. has been called together for a special meeting on Fat Tuesday, the last Tuesday before Lent. Problems begin when Summer Love, an aging hippie, wants it acknowledged in the meeting’s minutes that today is indeed Fat Tuesday and the meeting should have been rescheduled because she is going to miss her Mardi Gras party. Council President I.B. Wishywashy and Mayor Seymour Killens, an ex-military man, try to keep the meeting on track so they can tend to the reason for the special meeting, which is the condemnation of the home of one hundred year-old, Emma Starvin. The council skinflint, Titus Canby, is pushing for condemnation of her home so the town’s wealthiest citizen, Richard Greenback, can build condos on the property. The over-the-top eccentricities of the council members and the town staff make for a high spirited political spoof.
