| Abstract | This volume contains three of the dynamic shows created by members of the Omaha Magic Theatre: Megan Terry, Jo Ann Schmidman, Marianne de Pury, Lynn Herrick and John J. Sheehan. American King's English for Queens, first produced by OMT in 1978, is an exploration of the effects of the English language on people. Running Gag, which was done at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, is an onstage running marathon that explores women's struggle for personal independence. Babes in the Bighouse is a documentary musical fantasy about life inside a women's prison. |
