Longwood professor wows audiences with mini comedy plays
In the zany world of Dr. Brett Hursey's plays, the characters really are characters.

Another dresses as a ninja every time his mother-in-law comes to visit and tries to ambush her. There's also a woman who has run over a Shriner in a parade and stuffed his corpse in her closet, which would be no big deal for Chuck Norris, who always takes care of everything, she tells her husband.
