100 Lies
In this poignant comedy, teenager Liz Nostrand presents her life as a competition, complete with scoreboard and time clock. The goal of the game: To dramatize, in only 30 minutes, 100 significant lies told by and to Liz.
By the final buzzer, though, we see that the most crucial lies in Liz's life are those she has told herself.
One Hundred Lies brings you in laughing and sends you out thinking.
The Ugly Duckling
Arrangements have been made for Prince Simon to marry Princess Camilla. The King and Queen are nervous because-- let's face it-- Camilla is plain! It is decided that a beautiful maid will impersonate Camilla until the wedding. The Prince hears of Camilla's beauty and, considering himself rather plain, has his extremely handsome man Carlo impersonate him. Simon and Camilla meet by chance and fall in love. Each is beautiful to the other and they live happily ever after.

Illinois Jane and the Pyramid of Peril
When a map to a long-lost pyramid is discovered, only the greatest adventure hero of all time can unlock its mysteries — Illinois Jane, cartographer extraordinaire! But the evil French villain Pierre LeMalodeur steals the ancient tablet from Illinois Jane’s father’s museum. Illinois Jane and her sidekick, Sid, must stop him and his French henchmen (Marcel the Mime and Claudette, who has more lives than a cat!) from reaching the pyramid first and stealing the secret to immortality. Along the way, Illinois must brave booby traps, face burly pirates Captain Nobeard and Tintoe and fight off Pierre’s henchmen on top of a moving train. Meeting every challenge with style and panache, Illinois Jane rushes to the rescue in a harrowing climax as she matches wits with LeMalodeur in the heart of the Pyramid of Peril!

Scared Silly
Every spooky tale in this collection has a twist, whether it's what detention looks like in a school for the supernatural, what happens when a slasher-movie junkie tries to track down a killer, the incredible secret of the trick-or-treater dressed normally who wants candy anyway, or the only thing that scares ghosts.
