Hi to everyone who reads this.

I have finally finished writing my own 3 act musical, and it is in my belief, ready to send out to people that would like to perform it. As the Irishman once said "before I start speaking there is something I want to say".

Cost: $20 per production, scripts available free, if you call me on 0403328830, to give me an address to send them to.

Synopsis: A young dyslexic man, with a talent for drawing, applies for a job, and finds the woman of his dreams. The afore mentioned woman doesn't come without problems, number one being the jealous ex, who works at the same place as her.

Characters (stage ages):

Luc Cromwell — 23
Ashleigh Milligan — 22
Mike Lyster — 25
Alexander Carson — 50-55
Madeleine Knight — 45-50
Sarah Anderson — 22-23
Fiorenza — 40ish
Tony — 45ish

Extras
Carson’s receptionist — 25-40 year old woman (can also be restaurant patron or officeworker)
Police officers’ (x2) — 20-50 (stage ages) both male characters, one older one younger — Audition (younger officer can be played by a woman)
Game-show host (Act 2 only) — 25-35 man
“Luck of the Draw” Judges (x3) — 20-50 men, women or mixed
LOTD finalists (x4 m, 4 f) — 18+ (stage ages)

Craig, in response to your questions:

1. The main idea is that Dyslexia is not a disability, and it is not something to be ashamed about having.

2. I must admit that I have not written the music or the lyrics, but picked songs that would be appropriate, that have already been written.

3. Yes, two intervals would be more practical, but I have no objection to the director splitting it in half if they can.

4. Yes, everyone except the principal 8 people can be doubled as chorus etc.

5. Not everyone is T.S. Eliot
