skits for a play

Hello to Sillytech,
 
My name is kevin.  I am part of a theatre group at the university of Wisconsin
Stout.  For the last four years we have put on a show in February that we call
Sushi Burgers.  We take a number of short skits from 3 to 5 minutes long and
pull the names of those skits randonly from a hat.  The cast members have a
few seconds to grab props and get on stage and then perform their show.

After four years of scouring every available source for new shows, I stumbled
(Luckily I might add) across your website.  After looking through the skits
displayed here I feel that some of them would be ideal for the kind of show that
we're putting on, with just a little adaptation to make them suitable for stage
rather than screen.

Here's the dilemma.  I couldn't find anywhere on the site what you would charge
for your shows.  If you nedded a list of the specific shows that we would be using
I can have the other directors look the shows over, and make thier choices. 

To be honest we don't make a great deal of profit yet, and most of the time all that
we can offer is a space in our program for the website that the shows were taken
from, and of course the authors name is entered with the name of the show.  We
do have a small budget, but definitely not the kind of money that would come from
a sitcom.

I'm sorry about the lack of clarity in this email but I am writing it at 3 A.M. 
If you could please write back my email address is xxxxxxx@hotmail.com

thank you for your time
I replied to Kevin saying that he could use my skits in his show, but that I couldn't give blanket permission because I don't own the rights to the other ones. If you have posted skits at sillytech and want to give permission then do so in a comment here. I tossed a link to this thread to kev, so hopefully he will check it out sometime.

And how did he get that easy-to-remember e-mail address?
He clearly has connections.

I bleeped out his email address in case he didn't want it published on the web. Publicly available email addresses are spam magnets.

Finally, I can buy some Trix. Stupid kids... Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids! Suck it, kids! I'm eating Trix! As soon as Raul smuggles some of the finest black market Trix money can buy over the border, I'll just pour milk in the box and go to town!

Wait... I'm not a rabbit...

Kevin, go ahead and use my skits, no charge.

It would be cool if we could find out which ones they want to use.

You probably don't want to but you can use any of my TWO skits.

this is kevin. You helped me out so I'll help you out. I really want to do second guessing and ninja gameshow. I'm going to need to change them a little bit because it's for a very small low props kind of setting. Like in second guessing there are 4 different settings, (I love the bit in the bathroom by the way), but I think most of the dialogue is going to happen in the car. Thanks for the permission, this really helps me out.

Feel free to modify for your convenience. I'm genuinely flattered... I would kill to actually watch it. Any chance of a tape being made? A video file to download?

In any case, good luck with your production and enjoy.

You can use'em if you want. I'm in this for the glory, not the money.

we do always tape one night of the performance. I'll try to keep posting, and as soon as the show is over I'll see what I can do as far as getting copies to the writers of any shows that got used and would like one.

Since God Loved EVERYONE ( including you! ) in the world, so much, he gave his only begotten son do DIE for you, and whoever believes in him, will not perish, but live everlasting life in heaven. All you have to do is believe. He won't decline from you no matter how bad you are, and no matter how many people hate you. God loves you more than anything.
