This is a funny children's play, very sweet and suitable listening for the whole family!

Please submit your parts within 1 month of claiming - this is so that I can get the PLing and Editing done before things start getting busy with the year end holidays and so that we can get the finished play submitted to the Christmas Short Works collection by the December 5th deadline over there.

MaryAnn,
If you need someone else to DPL the finished project, I'd like to help out. This one sounds cute.

And we've moved over to the Dramatic Works forum to keep the launch pad tidy . . .

Still in need of readers for the Children (Walter and Gertrude) and the overworked but loving Father . . .
