FAIRLY TOLD TALES
By: Michael Soetaert
For years parents have tucked their children into bed with tales of Brothers Grimm and fables from Aesop. No wonder so many kids wake up screaming from nightmares. Seriously, what was wrong with those guys? Witches eating children, rotten parents making deals with old crones, monsters and worse! It's about time someone set the record straight. This collection of...  read more

     )
An evening of eight science fiction comedies that combines the uniquely weird with the incredibly awesome!

GRAPPLING WITH GRAMMAR: A COLLECTION OF TEN-MINUTE PLAYS
By: Donna Latham
It would be folly, of course, to start another unit on sentence structure without this innovative collection of ten-minute plays to help you effectively teach adjectives, idioms, pronouns and many other sentence parts to a group of students who would rather throw grammar (and quite possibly, the English teacher) out the window. Instead, toss that "drill and...  read more
MASTERING MATH: A COLLECTION OF 5 TEN-MINUTE MATH PLAYS
By: Robert Frankel

Following each...  read more
POSTCARD POINTERS TO THE PERFORMER
By: Bob May
What is Postcard Pointers to the Performer? Just what the title suggests...what the postcard is to the letter (a brief account of important events). It’s a Cliff’s Notes version of an acting book. It is a brief, but to-the-point approach to the craft of acting. It’s a checklist for the veteran actor, and a quick how-to for the beginning actor who wants...  read more
