Judith Pratt
1 man, 2 women
10 minute comedy
About the play: After spending most of her life raising children and wearing sensible shoes, Doris finds her inner goddess in a pair of stylish, trendy shoes. Husband Don, whose shoes date from 1958, is not convinced, worrying about broken hips. Funny, with a satisfying ending!
About the shoes: The actress may choose a pair of shoes that is glittery, a bright color, or some outlandish style like cowboy boots. It is not necessary to wear high heels to do this role!
