My Gun is Pink, a detective comedy, is a rarity—a good play with a predominantly female cast. With a playing time of 50 to 60 minutes, it may be presented as a full evening's entertainment (perhaps with an intermission at the end of Scene 5 or 6) or on the same program with another short play. The play was commissioned by Central Memorial High School of Calgary as a solution to the problem of finding a play with a predominantly female cast. It is a spoof of detective movies and TV shows, with a playful peek at the women's lib movement.

Babe Archer, Private Investigator, is a female Mike Hammer, Magnum, and Matt Houston rolled into one. She's tough, fearless, and smart. Her partner, the cops, and the "hoods" are all female. The only males are the kind of roles usually played by women on TV—Babe's adoring secretary, her partner's "steady," and the filthy rich dupes of the crooks. It's a play designed for fun—fun for the director, cast, crew, and audiences.

Fun, suspense, action for all groups. Unit set in the Hollywood 40's.

"I fell in love with it the first time I read the script."—Lynn Ingram, Sumrall, Miss., Attendance Center. "Our little drama class has greatly enjoyed working with My Gun Is Pink." —St. Edward School, Seattle, Wash.
