Jookalorum! When O. Henry coined this term — meaning something special or spectacular — he probably never imagined it would be the perfect word to describe his stories and unique style of humor.
Venture into the world of O. Henry through this entertaining collection of nine short stories artfully adapted for the stage. Three amusing narrators carry us through the stories as they lounge on lawn chairs by a pool on a lazy summer afternoon. Your audience will be transported to different places and times — whisked away into stories including ’The Last Leaf,’ ’The Ransom of Mack,’ and ’The Pimienta Pancakes’ as they come to life onstage.
Both audience and actors alike will love O. Henry’s characteristic quick wit and surprise endings accompanied by a host of colorful characters in each story!
