Petticoats *updated*

So just like with M.D. Pearce, Druggist, Petticoats had to undergo some final revisions.

Just some minor grammar and cast issues. This truly is the final draft.

Also, I have the dates for the two performances for this one as well. It will be performed May 12th and May 19th. This too will be videotaped, so I'll be uploading the performances after some editing.

I'm really excited to see this one in its fruition.

M.D. Pearce, Druggist *updated*

So I had to do some updates to this one.

Isn't surprising.

Not exactly my best work.

Anywho, this is the updated, last, final draft of this short play (unless told otherwise ... again).

Also, the dates have been set. M.D. Pearce, Druggist will be performed May 5th and May 19th. It will be videotaped, so look forward to seeing me put the performances up here sometime shortly after. The cast is volunteer so don't expect Oscar worthy performances. Just a warning.

Petticoats

This is the second of my short plays about Maud Duncan. This is about the "Petticoat Government" of Winslow, AR who held office for two terms from 1925-1927.

Carl Webber is a fictional character. To understand some of the context, Maud wrote in favor of going to war with Imperial Germany during WWI. Carl Webber is a German name, but he fought for the US and the Allies when he was 18-19.

M.D. Pearce, Druggist



So The Winslow Museum in Winslow, Arkansas (run by my mother) has decided to put on a couple of short plays (and I do mean short) in the spring about one of Winslow's most prominent citizens in its history: Maud Dunlap (Pearce) Duncan. The plays will be centered around Maud's becoming the third woman in Arkansas history to pass the Pharmacy exam in 1906, and with Maud becoming one of the first female mayors in the United States and the head of the second all-female municipal government in the country, aptly named "The Petticoat Government", whom ran Winslow from 1925 through 1927. Since I'm a burgeoning writer trying to get as much on my rather thin (nonexistent, really) resume, and I'm also not above trying to play off my mother's nepotism, I've been commissioned to write said plays.
