On Sam Spud and Other Things,
A long awaited parcel arrived in the mail today.
Sam Spud: Private Eye — AKA Splash of Mystery for those of you who remember EJH productions from yesteryear – has finally been published by Baker Plays out of New York. Baker is affiliated with Samuel French in Canada.
This brings my official publication list to . . .
. . . two items.
I sent Baker a second manuscript a year ago – The Banes of Darkwood AKA Splash of Horror. We’ll see how that one fares.
Rehearsals for Mitch’s Crossroads Café are going well. We have five left before Play Week, which entails three dress rehearsals and three performances. Our plans for set are coming together – with minimal expense. There’s great satisfaction to be gained from making things out of nothing for little or no money.
So, the posters are up, the advertising is out, the T-shirts and anniversary mugs are on the press, and now the search for our audience begins. We know our loyal supporters will find their way to their seats, but it wouldn’t matter if we performed for just a handful of them. We’ve learned over the years that we are truly doing this for ourselves . . .
And to help support the Lampman High School drama club . . .
And the Lampman Hospital Auxiliary . . .
And the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency . . .
So let’s hope for a good turnout!

I assume you wrote Sam Spud. I just saw it performed last night by the drama club at my grandson’s high school. Well written and it did not present so serious challenge to these young thespians that they could not handle it.

Wow, Richard. Thanks for letting me know. I’ve been wondering if any schools have used the script. Where’s your grandson’s school?
