It Could'a Been

By Marian Scadden

A children’s play with music highlighting three tall tales: Johnny Appleseed, Sal Fink and Febold Feboldson. Johnny has a wolf for a friend, takes on some rough and tumble woodsmen and woman, but loves more than anything to give away apples and apple seedlings to passing pioneers. Sal Fink is the daughter of keelboatmen Mike Fink and just as tough and extremely big-hearted. She saves a family from a bear and saves herself from some river pirates. Febold Feboldson is by himself on the great plains of Nebraska and will go to the trouble of changing weather just to get a few neighbors. Several songs to familiar tunes are part of the show. RUNNING TIME: 23 minutes. CAST: 10 m. 9 f. 29 Either. FLEXIBLE CAST: 10-48.

Marian Scadden

Marian Scadden reads a lot, and likes to write in theater-esque and other genres, such as Young Adult fantasy, Middle Grade stuff, and Picture Books. She loves playing board games with her family, especially when she wins. Marian graduated in Children's Theatre from Brigham Young University decades ago, more or less. Writing books and plays is not quite as long as that. She started writing plays so she wouldn't have to pay royalties when directing them; she started writing picture books to see if she could and she advanced to novels in 2009 when she participated in National Novel Writing Month. It's kind of exciting.
