 AT HALF TIME
By Art Shulman
5 women, 1 man (5 players, 1 coach), a 20 minute comedy
The team in the Over 60 Women's Park Basketball league has had a terrible first half. They’re losing to Little Sisters of Mercy--a silent order of nuns who play in long skirts. It’s halftime and the Coach is beside himself because his team of slow moving, slow reacting ladies is losing 59-6. His efforts to motivate his team don’t seem to work. But then he thinks of a solution about how to neutralize the competition. This fast moving play has plenty of action from the well-drawn characters. Lots of fun!
