The Spitfire Grill

Music and Book by James Valcq
Lyrics and Book by Fred Alley

Cast: 3m 4f

A feisty parolee follows her dreams, based on a page from an old travel book, to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah’s Spitfire Grill. It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and things are definitely cookin’ at the Spitfire Grill.

Starmites

Music and Lyrics by Barry Keating
Book by Barry Keating and Stuart Ross

Cast: 5m 6f (Possible Chorus)

Shy teenager Eleanor has built a fantasy world around the sci-fi comic books she collects. To the distress of her mother, she has learned to avoid the pains of growing up by escaping into fantasy, imagining herself to be an unrecognized superhero. When she is mysteriously thrust into the world of her favorite comic book, Eleanor is drawn into the conflict between Shak Graa, Arch-Creep of Chaos, and the Starmites, guardian angels of Innerspace. She turns out to be the legendary Milady, teen superhero who must lead the Mites on their Quest to save the Galaxy. Standing in her way are a colorful assortment of villains including the delightfully flamboyant Diva, Queen of Innerspace and her Banshee warriors. With the help of Space Punk, Eleanor learns to own up to the inner power she has always denied, defeating her foes and conquering the evil force of the “Cruelty.”
