Lustful Youth

		Multi-Act - Comedy by Mike Eserkaln
Cast Male: 3 Female: 3 Description Walt, a television statistician, has been hired to write a soap opera that everyone will "statisically" love. He's never written a soap opera, but with the help of Dill, his imaginary friend, he might just do it... or kill himself trying. Rating Mild suggestive humor and adult situations Additional Notes All the actors get to play at least two different characters, so this is a good play for character development work. Reviews "Lustful Youth" is zesty, clever, original fun. by Warren Gerds De Pere - "Lustful Youth" -- ah, there's a title. There's youth. There's lust. There's also a whole lot of satire as playwright Mike Eserkaln of De Pere picks on TV's inanities. While "Lustful Youth" is loopy, it's not a slapped-together affair. Eserkaln has the ability to write a farce -- no simple feat -- with sensible bits to it. Mostly, the cast members play soap characters going through merry mayhem at dizzying speed in a story dreamed up by Dill and Walt under the bigwig's three strict rules: it has to be done yesterday, be something everybody likes and place products. Silly as it is, "Lustful Youth" has the overall zing and smartness that could lead it to being produced elsewhere. It's legit. 4 out of 4 stars Production History St. Norbert College - 1994 Venture Theatre, De Pere, WI - 2006 Creekside Players, Lake Country, British Columbia, Canada - November 2007 Excerpt WALT I should have a title.
