Cover art for THE HARDY GIRLS, published by Stage Partners.
I have a few secret projects up my sleeve, and I cannot tell you how excited I am that I can finally announce one of them!!! The Hardy Girls is a new full-length play, inspired by the first book in “The Hardy Boys” series, and because I've waited to announce, I can now give it to you fully ready! You read that right: The Hardy Girls is published and available for licensing today!
The Hardy Girls was commissioned by Stage Partners, and if you scoot on over to yourstagepartners.com, you can give it a read! As always, you can read The Hardy Girls (and all of their titles) for free! Sometimes waiting has its benefits.
Want to know more about this mystery/comedy? Here's the synopsis:
When Juno Hardy is sent to live in the town of Bayport with her cousin Fran, she is perplexed to find all its eccentric residents are holding onto the bygone era when her grandpa and his brother were teen detectives. But it’s not all wholesome picnics – and when a friend is wrongfully accused of a string of robberies, sarcastic Juno and her upbeat, earnest cousin must work together to solve the crime and clear their friend's name. Grab your magnifying glass and follow the twists and turns of this delightfully cheeky, flexible play inspired by the first Hardy Boys mystery.
The Hardy Girls has a super flexible cast of 10 to 20 and runs between 100 and 120 minutes. The play also includes some of my all-time favorite lines, like:
Good gracious, Fran, there’s another girl here! When did you and your mother get another girl?
And:
Stop. You absolutely cannot add rhyming to your quirks. I’m at my limit.
So what are you waiting for? The Hardy Girls isn't going to read itself!
