From Paula Smith:

The best thing about creating a play? You get to choose which part you want. And if you want a part in future ZebraCon plays, see, phone or write me about it. Or else challenge me to a game of charades ... [1]

Fan Comments

The con play, as usual, was hilarious. DISASTER OF THE DRIVELS. Paula Smith once again did a great job (her tenth). And Shoshana will now and forever be seen by me as Galen, half-Name, half-Number, all man! (Suitable gestures inserted) [2]
