SAVING TOAD
a play with seven songs for the perfect parents of perfect children
by David Seidler

Kenneth Grahame, Secretary of the Bank of England and gentleman author, is trapped in a decade-long writers’ block and spectacularly dysfunctional marriage to England’s worst poetess. He creates a series of bedtime stories for their disturbed son, about a naughty Mister Toad and his river bank friends. The animals, however, have wills and lives of their own.

Fierce Reading Series...

Who says Death can't be a laughing matter?

FIERCE BACKBONE is excited to announce that Exit Laughing by Paul Elliott, is the first play that we are showcasing in our 2010 Spring/Summer Staged Reading Series. There will be 2 staged reading performances, May 7th & 8th, at the Studio Stage in Hollywood. Please see the performance information below.

(There will be a $10 suggested donation at the door for non-Backbone members.)

We look forward to seeing you there!

When the biggest highlight in your life for the past thirty years has been your weekly bridge night out with the "girls," what do you do when one of your foursome inconveniently dies? If you're Connie, Leona and Millie, three southern ladies from Birmingham, you do the most daring thing you've ever done, and begin a whole new way of looking at all the fun you can have when you're truly living.
