Wait Wait Bo Bait

by Lindsay Price

Waiting... Waiting... Waiting... What are you waiting for, right now?

Christmas to come? The phone to ring? Class to be over? The man of your dreams? The line to move? The answer? To be yelled at for setting a toilet on fire?

We all have to wait. How long will you? Could you wait all day, or is it killing you? Are you staring at the phone, the line, the door, a clock? A watched clock never boils you know...

Praise for Wait Wait Bo Bait

Lisa Evans

Fennimore Middle and High School

It was well accepted by the student body and the middle school and high school audience found it entertaining and interesting. It was able to be performed with a minimum of props and set pieces.

Deborah McKie

Phoenix Theatre

This play was great fun to work with from start to finish. It was easy to split up into pieces that needed more attention and easy to set. One audience member commented that they thoroughly enjoyed the vignette style versus a linear plot. Wonderfully simple to direct and set in the short period of time we had to pull the show together!

Doug Parks

Parkersburg South High School

A silly comedy about how the misuse of apostrophes are ruining the lives of students. Flexible casting, audience participation, and fun staging.
