  • Gather by the Ghost Light: Communal Table by Jenny Lyn Bader
    “

    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!

    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.

    I had the pleasure of seeing this show live, and I've been thinking about it ever since.
    COMMUNAL TABLE by Jenny Lyn Bader is a hilarious comedy with such an interesting concept: Three strangers at the same table, finding common ground and driving each other crazy.
    All three characters are uniquely vibrant, and the way they respond to each other is so entertaining. The dialogue is flavorful (and thankfully skim-free, because skim should not be the default) and thought-provoking.
    I love this piece. Applause applause applause!
