  • Kate Danley: The Devil's Wheel

    A fascinating history of a forgotten woman in America's past! Here is a woman who achieved global importance and then completely disappeared from history. I am so glad this play was written and her story is being told again! A great play for an all-female cast.

  • Kate Danley: The Improv Class

    What a WONDERFUL play with so much packed into thirteen pages! I did improv for years and was laughing along with painful recognition of acting with unhelpful scene partners, and then the whole play takes a turn into a gorgeous, heartbreaking, and heartfelt situation so many are dealing with. What a gem!

  • Kate Danley: The Night Sky (a ten minute play)

    A lovely play that takes our humanity and expands it to a cosmic scale. It manages that wonderful balancing act of being fun and light while also touching beautifully upon deeper subjects of loss, love, connection, reasons for being, the need for validation, and moments of grace. This piece would shine in a night of short plays!

  • Kate Danley: Hello Kitty Must Die

    Wickedly delightful, dark, twisted, and oh so good! There's almost a Quentin Tarantino vibe to it. It's gritty and complex, with a side-helping of revenge schadenfreude.

  • Kate Danley: The Damp, Dark Room Just Off the Parlor

    An absolute delight! It drips with gothic atmosphere while also light and playful. This short would be so much fun in an evening of Halloween shorts. Someone produce this!

  • Kate Danley: Aunt T's Resting Place - a ten minute audio/radio play

    In high school, a friend drove a bunch of us out to a fire road in the Appalachian Mountains and scared us silly with a story about a goat man, yet didn't actually have any details about what he or the legend was about. But here is the Goat Man! The legend! It's a thing! This radio play completely brought me back to that Halloween night and FINALLY I have some answers! Such a well written radio show based in local legends with great twists and turns. I adored it!

  • Kate Danley: Widgets, A Steampunk Origin Story: 10 minute

    This play is like a miniature painting. There are so many layers and details in this tiny ten-minute play. It is an examination of corporate culture, manufacturing, capitalism, with a little "Who's on First" rhythms thrown in for good measure. And then the final sentences sure pack a punch! Original and fun, while it also raises some serious questions.

  • Kate Danley: Madame Misty

    Such a fun romp! If you have an evening of Halloween fare, this would be a wonderful comedic addition.

  • Kate Danley: Don't Eat the Lava Lamp

    Oh the forbidden fruit... Except this time it is a lava lamp. What a delightful short filled with that viscerally identifiable urge to do exactly what you've been told not to do. And then the ending! I did not see that coming! Such fun!

  • Kate Danley: 2 + 1 = MURDER, a 10m noir comedy

    Clever, witty, and oh so much fun! There are roles here any actor would love to sink their teeth into, and sparkling puns and wordplay that will keep your audience rolling. "2+1=Murder" also equals a great night of theatre and a highlight in any short play night!
