Contest Play: Little Women
by Louisa May Alcott
Four sisters face their first Christmas with Father away serving in the Civil War. With their mother, they face the challenges of taking care of each other, finding their places in the world, and growing up.
Group Interpretation: Failure - A Love Story
By Phil Dawkins
By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead -- expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from blunt object to the head, disappearance, and finally consumption. Tuneful songs, and a whimsical chorus follow the story of Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River, before their time unexpectedly runs out. A magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual's successes or failures.
