Dear John: An Ode to the Potty



"My dreams of thee flow softly.

They enter with tender rush.

The still soft sound which echoes,

When I lower the lid and flush."


They say that porcelain is the best antenna for creativity. At least that's what this cast of young people believe in Dear John: An Ode to the Potty! The action of this play takes place almost entirely behind the doors of five bathroom stalls. This short comedy is dedicated to all those term papers, funny pages and Charles Dickens novels that have been read behind closed (stall) doors! Bathroom humor at it's finest!


Cast Size 10 5M/5F.


Running Time: 15 minutes.


Royalty Rate: $35.00 per performance.


Appropriate for high school and adult audiences.
