Plays "North
of Pelican Rapids"** Published by
Big Dog Plays. Please see
publisher to order copies and for royalty fee information. FARCE. When Aaron arrives to pick up his prom date, he gets to meet her “parents” for the first time. While his girlfriend is getting ready upstairs, Ronald and Nancy engage Aaron in some small talk over a few glasses of Mountain Dew. But as the parents begin guzzling Mountain Dew, they begin to act crazy—really crazy! Ronald begins smoking Nicorette patches, Nancy brandishes a cap gun, and the two end up in a WWF wrestling match in the middle of the living room floor. And to top off all the madness, Aaron’s prom date appears dressed as Wonder Woman! NOTE: For a full evening of Minnesota madness, combine this play with another one-act from Greg Elsasser’s Pelican Rapids Trilogy, a collection of plays that features delightfully wacky characters from Minnesota: Shoe Booties (30 mins), The Baby Who Came to Dinner (30 mins). Winner: Best Direction of a Play, Fullerton College, June 1991 Winner: 1st Prize: Repertory Theatre's Playwriting Contest, July 2005 In 1999, The In-Between Work Players produced "North" as part of their fundraiser show...to great reviews. It then enjoyed a successful run at "Stages" in Fullerton, California for their Spring, 2001 One-Acts show. **Available in high school and a community college version. When ordering for a high school production, please order from the Big Dog catalog. When ordering for a community college production, ask for the Normal Mailer edition of "North."
