This work is a series of entertaining dramas, comedies, burlesques, and farces, which have been specially composed for occasional exhibitions, community betterment, and parlor theatricals. These pieces don't require many supplies to be performed. A medium-sized room, having folding doors or hanging curtains to divide the audience from the actors and costumes such as the modern wardrobe will easily do the job and be enjoyable.
