  • Kate Danley: The Detention Lottery

    A powerful piece of immersive theatre that puts the audience through the legal side of the detention experience. They say that many people cannot understand a situation unless it affects them, and this play puts them right in the middle of the herculean task of navigating through the courts. It is eye opening and an incredible tool for inspiring empathy. Theatres everywhere should license this show!

  • Kate Danley: Abridged Theatre History For People Who Have A Cursory Interest* | *(please note we have not verified these facts)

    A hilarious journey through theatre history through the minds of two guys trying to get things right but getting things SO wrong. But just when you think it is all just silliness and fun, it shifts into a new gear and we get a ride that is so satisfyingly profound.

  • Kate Danley: The Sister Show

    A hilarious and honest exploration of the ties that bind, especially among sisters. This is not Norman Rockwell! It features two fabulous roles for actresses 40+ and an opportunity to dive deep into the truism that those siblings that do not kill you make you stronger.

  • Kate Danley: Bodalands: A Play in Four Weddings

    This is a SCREAMINGLY funny play with roles for three Latina and one Latino/x/e performers. Every other line will have you rolling in the aisle. I just saw a reading of this and the audience was laughing so hard it stopped the show. If you are looking for an hysterical comedy reflective of Mexican-American joy, this is your play! Not an ounce of trauma on these pages! Just a delightful exploration of family, friendship, weddings, and love. Program this show!

  • Kate Danley: Advice

    I just saw ADVICE at the B Street Theatre, and holy smokes! What a powerhouse of a play! Hilarious, touching, smart, happy yet heartbreaking, and just a heck of a lot of fun. It had flavors of ART, but with a FABULOUS lead female. With a cast of three, a single set, and roles this great, I expect to see this play everywhere soon. It is really THAT good. Grab it before the rest of the world starts programming it for their stages!

  • Kate Danley: Operation Sea Ghost

    Absolutely hilarious! The language soars and I want to chew on the flavors found in the dialogue like candy. These characters are a talent showcase for any actor to bring to life. And beneath the humor, there is also a message about how sometimes things are better left alone. Pick this up for your festival! It will be an audience favorite!

  • Kate Danley: Diamonds and Toads

    Fairytales were cautionary stories on how to survive. What I love about this script is that it takes that central core & transports it to modern day. We're not imagining a peasant in a wood, we're looking at poverty (financial & emotional) in modern America. The menace in this desert is just as creeping as the forest's shadows. Magic in fairytales is an allegory, and I couldn't help but think of what "show mom" influencers do to their children for fame and wealth. A remarkable, timely script!

  • Kate Danley: Bitter Grounds

    For those of us coffee aficionados who like our beverages dark and bitter, this takes it to a whole new level! A fun comedy that will leave your audiences laughing, and the shift at the end will leave your audiences with hearts as warm as a cup of Joe on a cold day.

    While there's nothing gruesome or ghoulish about this, the exploration of our darker impulses and thirst for revenge would make this a great, unconventional addition to a Halloween festival!

  • Kate Danley: Waiting for My Cue- A Monologue

    What a beautiful monologue and one that will resonate deeply with anyone who has experienced that shift from "The It Kid!" to "Old Person #4". An absolute love letter to the vocation of acting and the piece of our souls we leave on our stages. Standing ovation!
