This Is A Test by Stephen Gregg

A comedy in one act
Produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois.
As the ticking clock reminds you, you have only sixty minutes to complete this oh-so-important predictor of your future. But you didn’t get the review sheets, the teacher doesn’t seem to like you, and your classmates are blatantly cheating. Time is passing and the voices in your head keep reminding you that though you may be having trouble with the test, your personal life is far, far worse. Then you reach the essay question. The good news is that it’s an opinion essay. The bad news is that it’s in Chinese. And things aren’t going to get any better!

Rogers and Hammerstein’s OKLAHOMA!

Set just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background for this love story of Curly, the handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl. Although their love’s journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, we have no doubt that they will succeed in making a new life together in a brand-new state!
