So I decided to write another play. This has been rumbling around in my head for quite sometime. Maybe it will actually come to fruition sometime this year. I love that word. Fruition.

Nancy is a normal girl.

She like normal things and desires to live a normal life. Her family on the other hand is not normal, they couldn’t even be considered abnormal. Nancy’s family is just plain weird. But it’s not her family’s fault, it‘s the culture they live in.

Nancy lives in a family of circus folk. She’s been raised on the road, traveling the United States and Canada under the watchful loving care of her father and mother, a clown and contortionist.

After a lifetime of oddballs and weirdoes for companions, Nancy craves nothing more that a normal life with a normal family in a town where she can stay. So Nancy does what any normal girl dissatisfied with her family life would do. She runs away from the circus to join a home.

But this normal life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Nancy soon finds that she’s not so normal and doesn’t belong with the normal family either.

Are you gonna post the script when you are finished? I think I can relate to Nancy.
