Scary Drama I
|
Taking to the stage!
Edie Claire's debut dramatic script, a comedy about a "dark and
stormy night" ideal for church-based dinner/dessert theater, was
recently purchased by Baker's Plays/Samuel French, Inc.
When master manipulator and future prom queen Christine DeSmet is
forced to attend a Halloween lock-in along with her younger sister,
she is mortified. Tricking two of her girlfriends into suffering
with her is small comfort, especially when she realizes that the
only boys at the party have barely hit puberty and the matronly
chaperone is a total whack-job. The last thing she expects to happen
is for three very good-looking, very rough-looking older guys to
walk in--thinking they're reporting to an alternative detention
center for juvenile offenders! After the clueless youth director
literally locks them all in, the girls realize they are stuck
together till morning, despite the storm outside that has knocked
out both power and phone lines, the mysterious disappearance of all
their cell phone batteries, the disturbing presence of a
twelve-year-old, self-confessed pyromaniac, the only half-welcome
attentions of the Future Felons of America, and worst of
all--repeated sightings of a creepy janitor who they gradually
become certain is not a janitor at all, but a deranged,
teenager-stalking psychopath!
Or is he? More than one person in this nightmare of a lock-in might
not be who, or what, they appear. Including the church’s new youth
director!
Look for Scary Drama I in early 2009!
