This play uses actors and theatre boxes to create a spectacle of Simon's mind, an externalization of his thought-process on stage. In doing so, it forgets time, creating a fluidity of space and movement that's refreshing, revealing and ruminative.
If you want something unexpected in respects to structure or an alternative to your typical Boy-meets-Girl/dating play, check out this play!

If you love the short comedies of David Ives, then you'll love Braverman's STUCK IN THE MIDDLE.
With zany talk about flood of blue slurpee and lazy corn dogs that's side-splitting-funny, this play tackles conflicting views of the meaning of life and faith. And it's totally accessible for any age and background.
This should be considered for your comedy showcase -- just make sure you have a costume designer who can find some hot dog costumes on eBay.

This monologue got under my skin.
Most monologues are rarely theatrical. This is the exception.
This is relatable to a woman of any culture, any community, any city.
Any festival on women's rights and feminism would be lucky to have this play on stage.

Richter's short play shouldn't be dismissed as some skit that retells the Rapunzel story. Like his engaging retelling of the Medusa-Perseus myth, this playwright captures our complicated world through a satiric lens.
This is a thoughtful piece that makes you think about how disinformation - fake news - in the age of Trump is creating a dangerous world, tarnishing the minds of children (even those supposedly protected by parents). Makes you think about how even with best education and parenting, our children can easily be influenced by lies on the Internet.
Another smart choice for your festival on fairy tales.

Beautiful showcase of unexpected intimacy, friendship and joy for two strangers.
It's short, but it'll leave a longlasting impression on you. No matter your worries, setbacks, complications - lost job, doctor's visit - forget momentarily and just experience happiness with another person, so happy you'd want to dance!
Thank you Richter!

This feminist retelling of one of the greatest clashes in literature - Perseus vs. Medusa - is perfect for our #metoo era. It challenges - and satirizes - social and historical concepts of heroism, gender roles and relations - and it's wickedly smart.
One of the best spoofs on Greek myths that I've read.
If you're considering a festival inspired by myths and fables, consider this. It's comedy gold.

One of the most intense short plays I've read on NPX.
Every word, every line escalates the emotional story.
This playwright here achieves a level of intensity and multiple characterization that I haven't read before in a short play in a long time.
Just wow.
Directors and actors, you have a lot to work with.

Everything about this -- the zany story, the never-seen-before characters -- makes for a clever play. A highly imaginative short play with perfect structure. This is so good, this is kind of comedy entertainment your theatre needs for your showcase.
One of my favorite short comedies on NPX.

This short monogue is a fine example of theatre for social change, bringing awareness to a topic that needs to see the light on stage -- eating disorders.
It's raw poetry that creates a haunting voice that you can't ignore or forget.

This funny play celebrates gay kink and explores a side of gay sexuality unlike most gay plays.
Bravo. If you're producing Queer plays in a bar setting, check this out.
