The Plays of Joe Salerno

About the Book

The Plays of Joe Salerno Volume 1 brings together three types of theatrical writing. The first section offers one-act comedies which are sure to delight some and deeply offend others. In Cancer Chic, two girls grow envious of a deceased woman who lost over sixty pounds during her illness. In John Gravy & the Seven Plagues, a preacher learns that Jesus is a practical joker. In Carolyn & Rebekah, two "straight" girls get married to beat the system.

But then there are the musicals. The Professor Field Trilogy (in four parts) is a psychological odyssey that filters the hopes and heartaches of society through the heart of one man. And if that's not enough, Joe Salerno includes two of his Jerry & Stubby plays, laugh-out-loud musical comedies that may or may not be for kids.
