The Bard meets the barnyard in this ten-minute parody of Hamlet—with farm animals. When Piglet is confronted by the ghost of his father, the old King Ham, who proclaims that "I was murdered," it sets the young pig on a quest for revenge that may just turn the farm into a ghost town. Fun for all ages ensues, as students get introduced to drama and the elements of literature amid a comically high body count. 10-15 minutes. 3-4 males, 2-3 females (6 performers total, with the possibility to expand the cast with background animals). Ideal for middle schools, high schools, youth theatres, universities, and community theatres.

Life as we know it may seem safe, with all events explainable in a calm, rational manner. That is, until one wanders out at night, under a full moon, near the Tremor Tree. The Tremor Tree, Volume 1 is a collection of three horror tales: Zombie Hayride, Bright Eyes and Border Werewolf. Each is written with the intent of prompting the reader to make certain that the doors are locked and the smartphone is charged. A high school hayride is detoured on Halloween by a zombie attack. A group of freshmen must rely on their creature feature knowledge in their fight for their lives and those of their friends in Zombie Hayride. An urban legend about a UFO prompts further investigation by two, very curious, 12-year-old boys during an overnight campout. The adolescents quickly discover that an alien takeover is absorbing the human population in Bright Eyes. Finally, an El Paso teen with a part-time job at the city library is harassed by school bullies. Seeking revenge, the boy intends to transform himself into a flesh-eating lycanthrope with help from a curandero. His plan backfires and uncontrollable bloodshed by an unexpected lycan ensues in Border Werewolf. It’s okay to look over your shoulder in fear when you feel you’re being followed. That frightening sound you heard may be more than just the wind blowing the leaves around. Author W. P. Armstrong has worked as in television, radio and print news for several years, in addition to public affairs. He is a U.S. Army combat veteran who served in Iraq. He is a graduate of New Mexico State University, but grew up in Central Illinois. Armstrong’s childhood was spent in Tazewell County, an area covered with dense woods, creeks, and fields of corn and pumpkins. This area is the definition of the perfect fall season, with crisp autumn leaves, football games, Homecoming parades, hayrides, caramel apples, fresh pumpkin pie, lighted jack-o’-lanterns, tractor pulls, harvest festivals, “creature features” on Saturday nights, haunted houses, memorable trick-or-treating, Halloween parties, and chilling winds at night that warn of winter’s approach.
