Plot Summary

Deep in the bowels of a nondescript government office, three bureaucrats from The Department of Great Thinkers Thinking Great Thoughts run our country. Every thought comes directly from these near geniuses. The problem is, of course, that these are bureaucrats and they don’t ever produce anything - including thoughts! The lowly night janitor discovers their lair and hilarity ensues.

A timely commentary on government in action, or inaction, as the case might be. We think.

Author Biography

Bill Arnold was trained as an actor, but due to his habit of rewriting his lines, people told him that he should write his own stuff. Primarily considered a composer, Bill dabbles in straight plays when the mood takes him. ABC: A Bureaucratic Comedy was his first play and since then, he has co-written a full length musical called Lint! The Musical with Scott Auden, as well as writing a 60-minute abridgement of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (both at the www.hitw.org - Hole in the Wall Theater, New Britain, CT site) as well as several other “projects in the works”. He is a founding member of the improv comedy troupe, Too Many Monkeys (www.toomanymonkeys.net).  A Connecticut-resident, Arnold lives with his wife Barbara and their daughter, Frances.
