Winner on the Dark Side: Three Short Plays
Incredible
Rump by
Dan Roth
Setting: The automobile showroom
of Ross Motors. 2m
Plot Summary: Two car salesmen,
Dave and Jim, try to figure out why Dave is not meeting his monthly sales
quota. We learn that the dwindling sales figures are directly attributable
to Dave's appearance as an actor in a friend's musical satire INCREDIBLE
RUMP. The play, based on Rumplestilskin, has some dark moments but,
as Dave says, "it has a happy ending."

program.

Eve. 2m
