I'll do it! Probably won't be ready for a few months, though. I need to finish up my other projects first.
I am certainly game to be a part of that! And a bigger part if you also do part 2 (with Christiana's journey) since there's a whole lot more female parts options in that!

Has anyone thought about doing Alcott's Little Men & Jo's Boys as dramatic readings, as has been done with Little Women ?

Also,
A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett would be good, too.

How am I always missing these things??
I guess I missed that one because it was done recently...a while after me downloading the book to listen to.
Thanks, Maria!

I think
In His Steps would make a good dramatic reading.

I think that sounds intriguing, Ruth.

I am already thinking about doing
Jo's Boys !
I started working on the script a few months ago. Progress is slow, but steady.

Let me know when you finish it! I would LOVE to read Jo.
At the moment I am Beth in Little Women at a theatre near us...so much fun.

3 act play from 1697. (It gets confusing that it is PD cuz the Gutenberg book is a 1973 reprint....)
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/37422
Anyone game? (Too much on my plate today!)
Thanks, Todd
I am just about ready to post the next play I am going to offer. As mentioned above, it is the Restoration comedy
The Life and Death of Doctor Faustus Made into a Farce . As soon as Beaux and Grimm (links below) are closer to done...
I need to look at the new template generator.
EDIT: I did start it!
Thanks, Todd

I would like to begin a new Sherlock Holmes Dramatic Reading... Being a huge fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his timeless characters.
