A wry tribute to the inexhaustible Cheryl Bear presented with great economy and metatheatrical wit.

A lively collection of witty and imaginative short plays. Each play offers a unique perspective on the vagaries of love or the search for connection. We move from the meta theatrical moment of a couple discovering their lives are scripted to a man experiencing his entire life as a play, with funny, imaginative , and touching explorations of romantic tropes in between.

Fred and Varna are not your typical grandparents. Riotously not. So when daughter Wendy threatens to disrupt their holiday plans, they are distraught. Read Tinsel to see how things work out in the end. Or, better yet, produce it.

Crowdsourcing your play is the perfect answer to writer's block, right? Maybe not so much. It's still great fun to watch this playwright give it a try and to ultimately get to the source of his own writer's block.

A riotous farce on the sausage making that is the pursuit of a hit in commercial theatre. With Sondheim jokes. Who could ask for more?

So PDA-phobia is kinda like being pee-shy. Poor Guy can't get beyond the former, but he really wants to take up Girl's offer. His negotiation of his dilemma is the core of this funny short play.

This is an insanely funny play about the genesis and actions of cosmic villains. Clever, with the fantastical juxtaposed with the mundane. A superlative example of a wild imagination meeting exquisite craft.

Snappy dialogue mixed with bursts of real feeling propel this amazing piece. And those eulogies. Each one a comic gift that together build to a moving cumulative effect. Millie and Sienna are complex and engaging characters negotiating a multi-leveled relationship. All in all, this is a rich and satisfying play.
