2f, 2m / Musical, TYA/Jr. High/High School / Simple set Greedy humans exploit the kindness of a magical gnome in this fractured fairy tale based on the Brother's Grimm. An ambitious peasant will say anything to convince the cash-strapped king to marry her lowly daughter, even if it means pretending the girl knows how to spin ordinary straw into priceless gold. Forced to spin or die, the hapless girl begs a lovelorn gnome to save her with his magic. And when her newfound "talent" leads to a royal marriage proposal, the aspiring princess will promise the gnome anything to keep up the deception. Even her firstborn child! Too late, she realizes the only way to break her promise is to guess the identity of the mysterious gnome before her time runs out and her subterfuge catches up with her. "Suffice it to say that author Jeff Goode and composer Jonathan Price...are an astonishingly talented team." -The Bar Harbor Times

Rumpelstiltskin

A murder-mystery serial-comedy with gratuitous sex and violence and a cliffhanger ending every 10 minutes. Larry Fingers and his cigar-chomping, gun-toting protege Spike are about to hit the big-time. But will their budding music career survive the spectre of scandal raised by the Lycanthrope from Larry's occult past? Larry's not saying. But hotel detective (and erotic novelist) Dick Piston means to find some answers. Even if he has to write it himself. About the playwright: "A depraved playwright." -Denver Post "A smarty-pants theater cult-god." -Northern California Bohemian "It's easy to see why some might call Jeff Goode 'anti-Christ.'" -Arizona Daily Star "Playwright Goode is a witty wordsmith." -Beacon Journal (Akron) About the plays: ..". LARRY AND THE WEREWOLF, a deliriously sophomoric noir-and-monster movie spoof and an ideal piece of anarchic summer escapism ... The serialized detective story ... is a series of blissfully un-suspenseful interludes rife with bad accents, cheap lighting effects and the requisite supply of sidelong glances, the portentous sort that implicate every character, even the dead ones. Blood splatters, bodies fall ... The author, Jeff Goode ... seem[s] to understand the audience's tolerance for goofiness laced with gore ..." -Peter Marks, The New York Times

The Ubu Plays

William Shakespeare

All groups / Areas / Drama / 8m, 5f / Running time: 2 hours His first new play in 400 years! This tale of forbidden love and political intrigue fuses the texts of Shakespeare's two well-known tragedies into a new classic with unexpected plot twists. A young boy falls in love with the Roman Emperor, and all hell breaks loose. Controversy reigns in ancient Rome when a popular openly-gay politician takes as his lover the son of a homophobic arch-rival. Hate begets hate as a very public bashing/assassination leads to civil war and murder-suicide. Romeo and Julius Caesar intertwines two of Shakespeare's best known plays in an original work, which casts new perspective on the original texts, and a new light on our own modern problems. The first play offered in a new series of collaborations between Jeff Goode and Shakespeare.
