Hi! I am presenting a workshop for a university and would like to do a few screwball comedy scenes (man and woman) but am having a hard time coming up with plays... my initial ideas were of the likes of 'Bringing up Baby' and 'It Happened One Night', but those are of course movies (:
Anybody have any genius ideas??? I'm rather ignorant when it comes to plays... know my musicals though (: Thanks.
And at times I think

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
