Synopsis
Laughing Once More
Published by Dramatic Publishing
3 Male 6 Female
As with his I Know I Saw Gypsies and I Saved a Winter Just for You, Erhard has assigned a basic personality trait to each performer
They then play appropriate characterizations in the dramatizations of carefully arranged poems and stories
The focus is on the wonderful and mysterious process of creative writing by young people
To the challenge that all youthful writing is downbeat, several performers convince the others that much high-school writing is, instead, very upbeat
This evening of theatre looks at finding ideas to write about, the inspiration of good teachers, the incredible difficulty and complexity of boy/girl and parent/student relationships, and the hurts and terrors that exist in young peoples' everyday lives and provides a laughing conclusion of happy-ending stories and poems
