Take Two: A Musical/Comedy in Two Acts

Rate this book
Join the whacky film crew from the “other world” as they are sent to film the life of Aubrey Culpepper who has serious guy problems. As Aubrey leaves another man at the altar, things get really wild behind the scenes as the egotistical director Floomenberg keeps changing screenwriter Sneergarble’s script much to the chagrin of the mysterious film producer Zelderphen. Will Aubrey ever find her true love or is she just a pawn being controlled by the “other world”? With catchy songs and crazy antics, Take Two is a comedic joy ride that is hard to resist. The Collaborative Drama Writers, started by Mark W. Sasse, is a small group of writers who have a passion for drama and creativity. We work collaboratively with the thought that the sum of all of our creativity will produce a superior work of drama which is fun, unique, and ultimately purposeful. Our dramas are created with live performances in mind and are suitable to be produced in a variety of theatrical settings including community theatre, university, and high school. “Take Two” was written in the fall of 2009 and performed on-stage for the first time in May 2010. Our ever evolving crew of writers has most recently produced the dramas "Life with Stewart" and “Spy Blue” along with our earlier works the comedy “What I Wouldn’t Give…for a Monkey Love Potion” and the fan-favority comedy/musical “A Tad of Trouble.” We hope you enjoy “Take Two” and would appreciate your feedback and thoughts concerning our collaboration.

Mark is a proud Western PA native but has lived most of the last twenty years in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia. His overseas experiences have redefined everything including his palate, his outlook on life, and naturally his writing.

He has written ten novels, including his brand new Forgotten Child Trilogy.

His interests cast a wide net - from politics to literature - to culture and language - to history and religion - making his writing infused with the unexpected as he seeks to tell authentic and engaging stories about people from all walks of life. His writing is straightforward and accessible to all, especially those who enjoy writing injected with doses of culture, history, adventure, and delightful humor. You never know what you might get when you pick up a Sasse novel.

Besides novel-writing, Sasse is a prolific dramatist, having written and produced more than a dozen full-length dramatic productions. He especially is fond of the short play format and has twice won the Best Script award at the Short & Sweet Theatre Festival Penang. His plays and short musicals have also been produced in New York City, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney. His play "The Last Bastion" was awarded the Greywood Arts Winter Residency 2018 in Ireland. Performances of his scripts also won Gold and Bronze medals at the Southeast Asian Forensics Competition 2014.

His professional background is as diverse as his writing. He holds Master's degrees from California State University Dominquez Hills and Azusa Pacific University in Humanities and TESOL respectively. His undergraduate degree was in English, which helped him develop his passion for creative writing. He has extensive experience in teaching English, history, and drama.

On top of all of this, he loves to cook everything from gourmet pizzas, to Mexican, to various Asian dishes. Flavor is the key of both his cooking and his writing. He very much hopes you enjoy the taste.
