by D. M. Larson

Overview

"Operation Redneck" is a full length comedy stage play for 6 actors (3 men and 3 women).

Below is a sample monologue from the script.

"GREENIE (THE LAST LIBERAL)"

TINA: Now wait a minute. You know how narrow minded people here can be. Well... your Greenie boyfriend doesn't go to church. And Your Grandpa's a minister. Your boyfriend thinks all hunters should be shot. Isn't your dad a big game hunter? And your boyfriend doesn't want to have any kids. He thinks the Earth is way too overpopulated? Doesn't your Grandmother hold the town record for giving birth to the most kids? They have a picture of her at the maternity ward in town. This is bad. The last liberal who came to town nearly got themselves killed. Remember when your cousin Earl brought home that girl from California? She had her armpit hair braided! She did! JJ said he saw it. And she chained herself to the local Steak in the Rough BBQ and refused to leave until they served salads. You know what happened to her? She got run over by a garbage truck. Did so, ran right over her foot. It's not safe for them greenies here. You better tell your boyfriend not to come.

About the Author

I have been writing plays since high school and acting since junior high. In 1988, my first play "Nicolas Brooks" had instant success by winning the Youth Division at the Spokane Civic Theatre Forum Festival in Washington State. The writing bug infected me and I decided to form my own little theatre group in 1989 called Tailors of the Imagination. At 17, I produced and directed an extended version of "Nicolas Brooks" called "Who Loves a Writer" as well as a retelling of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. In 1990, my play "A Man and His Plant" was produced at the Spokane Civic Theatre Forum Festival in the adult division. The play went on to win third place in a national contest and then was published by the Dramatic Publishing Company as a part of an anthology "Short Stuff for Mature Actors." In New Mexico, I started a theatre group called the Poco Loco Players which have successfully produced four seasons including several plays that I co-wrote with the other Poco Loco Players. I also started the successful website called freedrama.com which has provided free plays to schools and community groups around the world. My 2002 victory as a writer was being included in the Love Creek Production's play festival in New York City. My monologue "Pearls of Wisdom" is the true story of the struggles young women face growing up in rural Idaho. Another success was a 2004 midwest tour of my play "The Redneck" (renamed Operation Redneck) by the professional theatre group Retroact Productions. During this time, freedrama.com became very popular receiving thousands of visitors. My plays on freedrama.com (now freedrama.net) have been performed on every continent including Antarctica. I'm now involved in developing film projects as a writer and producer. In 2008, I started a new series about War Veterans. The series has been featured by Apple iTunes and YouTube. The most successful episode has been "Saving Lives in World War II" which won an Emmy Award in 2009 for best Advanced Media Historical Documentary (Rocky Mountain Region). In 2010, I won a Telly Award for my full length documentary about a wildlife park in Arizona. And in 2011, I won a second Emmy Award for my short documentary about an organization called Paws and Stripes that helps veterans with PTSD using service dogs.
