Hey guys

All help greatly appreciated

There is Evil Dead or were you looking for straight plays?

Never saw it on stage, but there is always Deathtrap.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

nvm

those are a few popular titles, the yahoo theatre directory is very helpful:

oh wow, ok, forget about the yahoo directory, looks like it's pretty much useless for plays. My first thought would be to look at script rental sites like samuel french

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Look into Charles Busch's work, his stuff is very campy and usually borrows from old horror/B-Movie/film noir stuff

Charles Ludlam's plays were also full of camp, and sometimes made knowing use of schlocky movie conventions.

ETA: I'm thinking of Hot Ice and The Artificial Jungle, which admittedly are not the two plays one first thinks of when one thinks of Charles Ludlam. Updated On: 4/4/08 at 11:35 PM

The Mystery of Irma Vep....Charles Ludlam and Everett Quinten...possibly moving off-Broadway

Irma Vep is a stitch, but it's more Victorian-penny-dreadful-schlock than 50s-B-movie-schlock. Might be what sonanddanceman is looking for, though, you never know. (It's a two-actor quick-change play, if you're wondering.)
