  • Kate Danley: North Pole Noir

    A 10-minute holiday piece that would make Raymond Chandler proud! If you're a fan of the old claymation films, too, it is a double delight! This would be a great addition to any holiday festival.

  • Kate Danley: Mrs. Bave Presents the Pig War

    A funny and delightful play about one of the oddest moments in Washington state history! And the real life woman who told the tale for over twenty years along with a cast mannequins. The ending is especially poignant and meaningful to our world today.

  • Kate Danley: The Commune of Mutual Aid and Education for the People Hosted by Angela Davis with Special Guest J. Edgar Hoover

    A brilliantly powerful piece of political satire. The humor is unrelentingly pointed and sharp, and takes no prisoners as it illuminates parts of American history that have been glossed over, and it takes on even more urgency in today's climate. They say if we forget history, we are doomed to repeat it, and this play unapologetically demands you learn. (In a very Mr. Rogers way. If Mr. Rogers was in your face comedy.) Far too often, trauma turns into trauma porn onstage. This turns trauma into a battle cry.

  • Kate Danley: Annnd Scene (of the Crime)

    Absolutely HILARIOUS cop/criminal scene that takes all the best bits of improv and turns them on their ear as a real audience pleaser! *ding* Takes all your favorite improv moments and incorporates them into a seamless comedic interrogation that will leave folks howling *ding* IT'S JUST REALLY GOOD AND YOU SHOULD PRODUCE IT.

  • Kate Danley: The Cottage

    Noel Coward on steroids! An utterly delightful farce with twists and surprises that will keep you guessing the entire script.

  • Kate Danley: The Devil Eats Oreos?

    Such a fun piece that plays with how we believe people, and what happens when the ridiculous becomes reality. With a cast of three women, fun games, and simple staging needs, I could really see this being a great piece for high schoolers or college theatre students.

  • Kate Danley: Blackademics

    This play drew me in from page one and didn't let go until the end. It is filled with incredibly powerful statements on the human condition. It uses suspense and creeping horror deliciously. With simple staging requirements and a small cast, this could be perfect for a festival.

  • Kate Danley: Dames of Our Lives

    A screamingly funny one-woman show! No scenery is left unchewed! This piece provides fantastic opportunities for a comedic actress to absolutely own the stage. And so perfect for a black box or festival situation. Highly recommend!

  • Kate Danley: Riverwood

    I saw this at the Seattle Public Theater and was blown away. It held the flavors of August Wilson and Lorraine Hansberry, but for today. Incredible writing by Andrew Creech that explores friendship, dreams, and the impact of gentrification on communities. And while it tackled very deep issues, it also embraced black joy and hope in equal measure. If you're looking for a single-set script with powerful roles for an all black cast, do this play!

  • Kate Danley: Hot Blood Sundae

    A ton of fun for two actresses! The final reveal is worth the wait. Would be a great piece in an evening of Halloween themed shorts!
