Posted by Dwayne Yancey in Photos, Uncategorized on January 18, 2012
Cate Leonard (art dealer) and Mike Allen (art buyer) eye some "artwork," which looks suspiciously like it was once a dog. (Or a cat. But we had a dog prop.)
I collaborated with Salem,Va. filmmaker Hank Ebert to make a short video out of my script “My Kid Could Paint That.”
You can find the video here. These are some stills from that film, which played in a festival at the Grandin Theatre in Roanoke, Va. in spring 2009: Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve written several short pieces spoofing the corporate world by setting them in the caveman era. One of them is “The Corporate Tribe and the Invention of Fire,” which was performed February 2007 by the City Circle Acting Company in Coralville, Iowa.
“Putting the Fair in the Tooth Fairy” at North Park Vaudeville, San Diego
Posted by Dwayne Yancey in Photos, Uncategorized on January 16, 2012
“Putting the Fair in the Tooth Fairy” is a five-minute scene that began life at No Shame Theate and has since been produced elsewhere, including this October 2006 festival at North Park Vaudeville and Candy Shop in San Diego.
The basic plot: A boy decides the tooth fairy isn’t being fair, so waits for her with a baseball bat. Turns out the tooth fairy isn’t a her. Comedy ensues.

“My Summer as a Mermaid” at Acme Theatre New Works Winter Festival, Mass.

May Paquette (Policewoman), Chris Lockheardt (Drunken Young Man), Karen Powers (Ashley Fairweather), Tom Powers (Manager), Diana Porter (Waitress) and Gordon Ellis (Pirate). Directed by Cinda Lavely.
“My Summer as a Mermaid” grew out of a family vacation to the beach. I’m not sure where the idea came from, but I had the vision of a fish restaurant with a huge aquarium — and a waitress swimming in it in a mermaid costume.
This was the January 2006 production at the Acme Theatre New Works Winter Festival in Maynard, Mass.
A few months later, the script was produced at the Appetite Theatre in Chicago.
This is a ten-minute script.
“The Copyright Violation” at Acme Theatre New Works Winter Festival, Mass.

We all know what happens if you violate copyright on the web; you likely get a “takedown” notice. But what happens if your tattoo is a copyright violation? That’s the theme of my dark 5-minute piece “The Copyright Violation,” produced at the Acme Theatre New Works Winter Festival in Maynard, Mass. in January 2005.
The piece has since been published by Eldridge Plays and Musicals in the collection “24/7.”

“Hamlet on Spring Break” — published by Playscripts — is one of my most frequently-produced one-acts.
The plot is pretty much what you think it is; Hamlet goes to the beach instead of Elsinore. Comedy ensues.
These photos are from the show’s third production, at Highland Park High School in St. Paul, Minnesota in November 2004:
“The Last Man on the Moon Blues” at Curry College, Mass.

“The Last Man on the Moon Blues” comes in two versions — a five-minute script and a ten-minute script. The ten-minute version was produced at Curry College in Milton, Mass. in May, 2004.
Just a few months earlier, it was produced at another Bay State venue — the Acme Theatre New Works Winter Festival in Maynard.
Here’s another photo from Curry College:
