I am a published author of musicals by I.E. Clark Publishers, Schulenburg Texas. My musicals are family oriented and can be performed by students and or adults.

A Country Christmas Carol takes the classic to the mid-west where Ebeneezer has become G.R. Scrooge (Greedy & Rotten!) Produced originally in Fort Worth Texas by Heritage Players. Been in print and produced across the country for more than 15 years.

Those Magical Red Sneaks is the ever-popular tale of the Red Shoes but updated to the 1990s where the shoes are operated by a remote control and are a paid-off old gym shoes...Sneakers...Sneaks!!! Has been presented across the country.

Out Of Darkness - Through The Eyes Of Barabbas is the Easter story seen through the eyes of Barabbas. A verse play with one original song and an add-your-own music.

Being considered for Publication
The Saga Of Ragtime Cowboy Joe is a fast-fun-loving look at the old west where a young man would rather sing & dance for the love of the pretty gals. Based on the famous song of the same title. Originally produced by Glen Rose Community Theatre in Glen Rose Texas more than 15 years ago. Recently re-written with all new music to premiere at Youth Education On Stage in Williston ND.

Gulliver's Travels Where a man considered a giant is shipwrecked on the shores of Lilliput and stays to become a hero! Premieres this summer by Youth Education On Stage of Williston North Dakota

Rick White

I received the following email from Rick White recently. You may find it of interest.

Crooked bureaucrats are a fact of life, but we don't talk about them. We don't expose them. We don't root them out. Essentially, we allow them to exist.

What can we do when confronted with a crooked government burueacrat? My answer is the political drama Dear Madam City Attorney McLean to be found at http://www.dramex.org/plays/scripts/dearmadam.txt

She resigned six weeks after I circulated the first draft. This is a timely subject for school drama and civics classes.

Mindy Manley Little

Spellbound, a musical play on words, written by Mindy Manley Little, is a new 2 act musical-comedy with flexible cast of 19+ (minimum of 10 needed when doubling) and 21 original songs. It was recently reviewed by Children's Book and Play Review (Sept.-Oct. 1997) and received an "A+" rating. It was called "an outstanding script." All musical accompaniment is professionally recorded, helping to make this show easy to produce on any level. Contact author for details and information.
