That time some random lady punched three people at the deaf West spring Awakening stage door screaming racial slurs was an experience

I am absolutely in love with the 1959 musical The Nervous Set but can't find the sheet music anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find this?

Is Parade due for a Broadway revival?
Dec 18

What about a movie? I feel like movies are given more freedom to be darker...I would love a revival but god this show is depressing. I'm a Jewish man from Georgia so I love this show but it's a hard sell. With the movie musical making a resurgence I think this would be a fabulous property to convert to cinema

Im Trying not to portray him as the villain. I've seen plays do that with mental illness but I definitely won't deny the pain in the ass he is. One aspect of my play is the effect on the family and that can definitely include frustration. He's not perfect, but he's not a villain

Charley, I agree with you. I am very sympathetic to people with mental illness. I've lived it. I would never do a " sideshow" . my goal is to bring attention to the humanity of mentalillness, but while this humanity exists in the afflicted person, it does not change the fact that those immediately involved are affected incredibly. My personal experience has taught me this. Also, the statement about all the plays being melodramas: I am writing from the perspective of a normal fam

I was just looking at ways to right mental illness, and I'll definitely use a lot of my experience I just wanted to get ideas from other playwrights to see how they do it. I picked up the Tennessee Williams books cuz I looked up plays about mental illness and those showed up :) . again, thanks for all the help. I'm also documenting the process and I needed some resources from other plays. That's why I'm reading all these. It's a school project but I wanted to do it before I was assigned this thing so im doing it with my heart but also have to analyze some things cuz school

Thanks for the awesome suggestions jpeterman but I don't want to villafy mental illness. The play is going to be semi autobiographical and I don't want my brother to be a villain :). I'll look into the others though

I am planning on writing a play about mental illness and its effects on the individual units of a family. I want to analyze theater that addresses similar ideas of mental illness or just mental illness in general so I have an idea on how to write about this taboo subject. I KNOW NEXT TO NORMAL IS GREAT, but I'm looking for straight plays. I don't have have the musical capability to write something like that ?? so far I have proof by David auburn, Equus by Peter Shaffer, the glass mena
