Fource Upon a Time

Each Act could also be done as its own standalone 1 Act play, without the framing device of the four playwrights. Going this route would result in shorter, simpler plays, but each story still stands on its own with a beggining, middle, and end. However, there are some running jokes, callbacks, references, and 4th wall breaks in the "full" version that would not make as much sense in the standalone versions, so there are some minor differences between the full anthology and the individual versions.

However, if you are interested in performing any of these stories, please feel free to edit and alter them to fit your needs. When I put on the first performance myself, we did the first 3 Acts, with plans to do the 4th as a standalone in the future. So the framing device, playwrights, callbacks, etc. were maintained for the first 3, but will be removed from Act 4. Make it your own, and do whatever you need to do for a successful performance!
