The plot is very intriguing and I'm sure as you develop this stage play, it will prove to keep our attention. Good luck Judi, I'm looking forward to it.

You have your plate full with this. It should be interesting. I will try and review when I can. I have never done one either, but it would be a try. Good luck.

An amazing introduction to the melodrama. This should indeed be interesting, no doubt. That is a hefty list of characters. I can't wait to be able to read the next script. Well done, very much enjoyed.

Very interesting. This sounds a lot like a Clue type murder mysteries. You have a wide cast of characters, a murder, a known killer on the lose and many possible subjects. I assume they all will have a motive or opportunity.

Let the curtain rise.

This sounds intriguing, Judi. You did a great job explaining the premise, the characters, the setting, and all of the possibilities that may happen. I enjoyed reading about the upcoming script. I believe you will have many new and interesting facts to incorporate into your story. Every summer we have 'Sumner Mummers'. It sounds similar to your idea in thought only. They have a different presentation each year, and it is presented in our 1930's era theater. Those attending are encouraged to throw popcorn, and at the end of the show, the popcorn is everywhere. The show is usually some kind of satire. I look forward to your script. Thanks for the info about it. Best wishes on this endeavor. I have every confidence that you will write a great script that will be successful.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

    Thanks so much for your review and encouraging words. At the melodramas I'm familiar with, the audience threw coins, instead of popcorn. Popcorn would be so messy. I appreciate your good luck wishes, and I'm eager to see what I can do with it. judi

    Thanks so much for your review and encouraging comments. I've not attempted a mystery before. Goodness knows, I've read enough of them and seen enough mystery movies I should have a general idea of what to do. judi
