OPQRS, Etc.
From the pen of the most respected playwright for young audiences, comes this NOW fable, based on the fallacy that one color is superior to another. Six characters. Optional for extras. Single setting. Fanciful medieval costumes suggested, buy imagination, please!
Even the aplhabet suffers in Ottoville, ruled by a ridiculous dictator, Otto the Offical. He decrees that orange is the only acceptable hue. The townspeople are further cowed by bearing labels which tell them how to Peter the Prudent, Quilla the Quiet, Stacia the Silly. Only Rozelle the Rebellious refuses to conform - - and dares to bring a blue flower into Otto's orange world. It takes the arrival of an artist, loving all the tints of the rainbow, to paint Otto in his true colors! A widely produced, beloved work whether in Pittsburgh, Utah, or Kansas in its developmental productions, and ever timely!
