A couple of months ago, I and a rather annoying person where each given the chance to student direct a one act play in our highschool theatre, for a Senior only class called 'Out of School Expiernce.' Basically its "Just get the hell out of our school, and do some project"
I've been involved in my highschools theatre since early sophmore year, suffering through a play called 'Into the woods.' Not the most moving piece of literature, but at least I got to peck someones eyes out.
Anyways, back to the meaning of this post. I'm at a complete loss when it comes to picking a script. I've presented the head of our theatre (Who I and a few others have nicknamed 'The Golgothan') with several scripts which he's flat out refused, shot down, or just simply rejected.
A friend of mine made a comment to me after getting 'The Odd couple' shot down about how Clerks would make a great play. I gave it some thought, and deceided to ask the shit-deamon if he'd consider it. Basically he rejected the idea because of his obsession with paying royalties and doing every freakin' thing by the book.
Now, on to the matter at hand. Since theres about zero chance I could direct Clerks for my play, I began to think up ways others could. Since theres really no way to 'pay' royalties to Kevin would that keep the Askewniverse out of the theatre forever? I'm intrested in hearing you good peoples ideas about this. If there was 'Clerks -on stage' would you see it?
P.S I still can't find a fucking script, any suggestions of good ones would be greatly appreciated.
