The Backstage Adventures of Shakespeare Jones!
- a Hilarious New Stage Play written by elisa
LOGLINE: Romeo & Juliet in the front… party in the back! When a “washed-up” Hollywood action-movie director takes over a failing community theater, his tween son lands backstage among the other misfit kids. With opening night only hours away, the adults in full disaster mode, and the whole production hanging by a thread, the kids must secretly save the show, the theater, and maybe even their families… one performance at a time.
SUMMARY: The Backstage Adventures of Shakespeare Jones! is a fast, funny, large-cast comedy about what really happens behind the curtain.
Twelve-year-old Shakespeare Jones is dragged from his glamorous Hollywood life when his dad, a former action-movie director, takes over a crumbling community theater called The Sweet Swan. The adults are a hot mess: the diva hates children, the leading man forgets all his lines, the tech director keeps “accidentally” blowing things up, and opening night of Romeo & Juliet is just hours away. Luckily, their kids are secretly brilliant. With duct tape, last-second heroics, and a whole lot of heart, the backstage crew races to save the show before everything literally collapses.
With a big ensemble cast, tons of comedic moments, and an approximate 60 minute runtime, this play is a perfect fit for middle schools, youth theaters, and mixed age programs looking for a smart, funny, feel-good production.

Zak VS Zombies - Graphic Novel #1 Amazon New Release! written by elisa
LOGLINE: Zak Vs. Zombies, the award winning animated feature-length zombie comedy adventure will be debuting as a Kids Graphic Novel in 2024 published by Orange Hat Publishing.
SUMMARY: Zak vs Zombies is the story of a cellphone-less boy in a cellphone-crazed world. When a strange virus spreads through the town via cellphone calls and texts turning everyone into mumbling, stumbling, drooling zombies, Zak and a handful of other cellphone-less kids from his class must come together despite their differences and embark on an adventure of a life time to save their town (and possibly the world) from the digital Zombie apocalypse! Think Shawn of the Dead with the cast of the Breakfast Club as 9 year olds! Contact us for publishing details and film/TV rights.
Just a few REVIEWS:
"ZAK VS. ZOMBIES is hilarious, action-packed, and impossible to resist – a must-read for kids who love graphic novels!” Justin Santistevan - Co-founder of Wonderstorm (Emmy winner, The Dragon Prince, Netflix)
"Simply charming and so entertaining! ZAK VS. ZOMBIES is a delightful graphic novel that blends sweet, clever characters in a timely critique of excessive screen time. When a horde of cellphone-enabled zombies invade his hometown, Zak and his friends find a way to unite on a daring quest for survival to save everyone. Elisa's vibrant illustrations and dynamic storytelling breathe life into her endearing characters, crafting an exciting and extremely fun coming-of-age story underscoring the importance of friendship, forgiveness, and human connection. With its captivating characters and timely themes, ZAK VS. ZOMBIES promises to enchant readers of all ages!" Christine Woertink - SVP Product, Age of Learning / ABC Mouse
"...Who doesn’t like Zombies? Zak! Elisa Eliot walks a fine line between horror and hilarity, and a little social commentary, with her “graphic" graphic novel of the undead stalking the mindless middle class world of suburbia." Duncan Rouleau - Co-creator of Ben 10 and Big Hero Six, Founding partner in Man of Action Entertainment
