Poona is published by Original Works Online
These outrageous "Fairy tales for Grown-ups" are not for the easily offended! Poona, our ingenuous heroine, meets up with aliens, talking shrubs, and mealy-mouthed salesmen in her quest to find someone to play in her big pink box. Nothing is sacred in this raucous assault on the power of language.
Cast Size: 8-17 (depends on doubling)
Running Time: 90-120 minutes
 
 
 

Now available on Video!

The home of fringe theatre on the net
Though hilarious, you should probably leave the kids at home with some appropriate childrens activities when you see this play. Don't worry, though: while your having fun, they will too. You can download and print coloring book pages off the Internet that will keep them busy for hours, and you can even find some arts and crafts activities that the sitter can help them with.

New Poona T!

"Oh no, that would be explicit and inappropriate, and my federal funding prevents me from doing anything that might be educational or helpful to you later in life. But if you'd like a sandwich. Or a copy of the New Testament?"
