Plays About Plays

Our newest (and most meta!) featured list was curated for us by playwright Len Cuthbert, who offers this introduction: "A theatrical production requires contributions from a team of uniquely talented people. Here’s a fly-on-the-wall look at a large variety of meta-theatrical scripts that focus on people who make (or break) the final outcome of a performance: box office staff, tech booth operators, directors, actors, playwrights, backstage staff, and more."

Philip Middleton Williams recommended Shitty Shitty Bang Bang (A Phillie McDougal Play) by Doug DeVita
“ Nothing is ever simple in the McDougal family, but the implications of Veronica's attempt to manipulate others has forebodings and ramifications far beyond the moment we witness in this short exchange. Once again Doug DeVita takes us into the web of intrigue and dysfunction, and the repercussions of this moment over a table in a restaurant will be felt for a very long time. This is part of the McDougal family saga, but on its own it is also a harrowing tale of thrust and parry where the weapons are feelings and guilt. ”
Nick Malakhow recommended SAVINGS! by Gina Femia
“ Beautiful, intimate, funny, and full of complex characters rendered with empathy, SAVINGS! is both hyper-specific and extraordinarily human. Gina Femia provides an insightful theatrical exploration of huge themes (gentrification! abandonment! definitions of home and family! the mundanity and profundity of workplace relationships!) with gentleness. The irregularly paced scenes give the impression of collage of humanity, and the characters who show up for a scene feel just as real and lived in as the amazing leads who drive the story. This would be a joy to work on as an actor and director, and a fun build for designers. ”
DC Cathro recommended Triple Word Score by Emily McClain
“ A surreal beginning careens into a conflict of what may or may not be love, with a punch-in-the-gut twist thrown in for good measure. A roller coaster of a short play, hard and emotionally full of range for two actors to sink their teeth into. ”
DC Cathro recommended Not Exactly a Lullaby (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
“ Childhood is a minefield, and Sickles captures a quiet, terrible moment of regret and pain and fear perfectly. Because of his actions, Robert only has one Person left to confess to and this moment is portrayed with heartbreaking vulnerability. So, so sweet and sad. ”
