  • The Audition
    21 Jun. 2023
    We opened our high school senior-directed one-act festival with this play and it started things off amazingly! A very fun and funny piece that the students strongly responded to. Goofy and silly and great roles for the student auditioners in the play.
  • The Tenth Voyage of Capitano Giangurgolo Coccodrillo Fanfarone Matamoros Spavento
    25 Mar. 2023
    Nothing beats a good story and this play has DOZENS of them! While there may not be 1,001 of them, Thal's play will leave you spellbound and feeling like a little kid during story time as you spend time with the larger-than-life Capitano and those he encounters (or says he encounters).
  • The End of Summer
    17 Feb. 2023
    A lovely and poetic exploration of the bond between a father and daughter. Kimmel creates an incredibly distinct place and time and breaks your heart in just ten minutes.
  • WINNERS NEVER QUIT
    17 Feb. 2023
    What a charming play! Avoids all of the cliches of the father/son baseball trope and finds new ways to explore their bond and leaves you smiling and rooting for the "home team"!
  • Family Visitation (Ten Minute)
    13 Jun. 2022
    A devastating and impactful short piece that serves as an important reminder of LGTBQ history and both how far we've come and sadly how far we have to go. A powerful addition to our student-directed one act festival.
  • 3 Characters Figure It Out
    13 Jun. 2022
    Such a fun piece! Perfectly structured as a ten-minute play and captures both the joy and struggles of playwriting. A highlight of our student-directed ten minute play festival.
  • Dear Stephen
    13 Jun. 2022
    Great roles for actresses of all different ages and a story that surprises and delights. A perfect addition to our student-directed one act festival.

    A lovely piece that deals beautifully with mental health and the weights and baggage that we all carry. Featured in our student-directed one act festival and resonated strongly with the students involved and the entire audience.
  • A Quiet Place
    13 Jun. 2022
    A wonderfully fun piece with so much for actors to play with! The opening for our student-directed one act festival and set the perfect tone for the rest of the evening.
  • Shrike and Magpie
    13 Jun. 2022
    A great take on the heist genre that embraces all of the joys of the genre and then bends them to create a satisfying and unique piece. A highlight of our student-directed one act festival.
