We produced an audio play version of this script in our season 4 line-up on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e16). In Jenny Lyn Bader's "Communal Table", we are given a snapshot of an interaction in a cafe between three strangers. Bader gives us believable dialogue and sculpts three distinct characters in a small amount of time. A well written script with a perfect balance of clever comedy and drama. Highly recommended!

The dialogue in this piece teaches, surprises, and delights! A great listen on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast!

From the tilt of Earth's axis to the opening and closing of financial markets in different time zones, to subtle changes in the food and beverage industry, Jenny Lyn Bader brings a the world (and at least one other planet) to the coffeehouse where three very different personalities find themselves awkwardly shoulder-to-shoulder at the communal table. As the banter skips from one subject to another, the imagination is stimulated as a vast universe of metaphors, analogies, and non-sequiturs become possible. This short comedy is delightfully intricate as the gear-work of an orrery.
