I'm a professional playwright who has been commissioned by the Children's Theatre Company in Minneapolis to create a play based on stories from Mark Twain's writing. I'm posting here to invite subscribers to offer their suggestions about what to include in the play. It will be a play with music, a little less than an hour in length, intended to tour nationally beginning in the fall of 96. I will be using short stories, as well as material lifted from longer works, fiction and possibly non-fiction, the only restriction being that the material is entertaining for children in grades 1-7 (more or less.) I'd appreciate any advice on material, productions of Twain works you've seen, even music you might think is appropriate. Please don't offer any ideas which you wouldn't want someone else to make use of freely (without compensation, other than my sincere thanks.) Yours, Tom Poole ([log in to unmask])
