Literary Form
Created in a genre suited to community and educational groups, the show consists primarily of monologues and two-person scenes. Not all actors need to be singers, although all may participate in chorus numbers. The show can be produced with minimal sets. Several actors provide continuity and a story arc. There are a moderate number of songs, 6 and a reprise at the end, so music is prevalent but not dominant in the form. The goal was to provide a show where a good number of actors could exercise their talents and skills while providing a cohesive and meaningful experience for the audience.
