  • Hayley St. James: Light Switch

    A magnum opus in both queer storytelling and autistic storytelling, with a wonderful protagonist you’ll remember forever and a story that pulls you in, haunts you like Henry’s favorite gothic romance, and ends on a stunning note of grace and empathy. An important, loveable, necessary work.

  • Hayley St. James: 40ish Short Plays about Matthew Weaver, compiled

    A collaborative effort in many different perspectives that celebrates not only the gift of a human that is the titular Mr. Weaver, but the power of playwriting and honesty. Rousing and touching, a funhouse mirror of a theatrical evening.

  • Hayley St. James: PASS THE AGGREVATION

    If you’re a person who has had family gatherings from Hell, or come from a family where “failure to communicate” seems to be in everyone’s genes... this cheeky, short one act hits home.

  • Hayley St. James: Biden's America

    A ray of light and goodness and hope (and kissing) after four years of absolute darkness. A wonderful celebratory ten-minute play.

  • Hayley St. James: Posers

    Seeing all the pieces come together in this caustic and funny queer love triangle is satisfying, but the tantalizingly open-to-interpretation resolution feels right, too.

  • Hayley St. James: OPEN

    Heartbreaking, thrilling, romantic. Conjures emotion effortlessly. “Open” is a one-person theatrical magic act exploring love and grief that *must* be read or seen.

  • Hayley St. James: Malvolio's Revenge

    Twelfth Night’s one of my very favorite plays, and Duncan Pflaster’s gone and written it a sequel! Queering the canon in a truly delightful way, this full-length follow-up in verse and prose is so much fun! The Bard would be pleased, I hope. I’d love nothing more than to see it run in repertory with the original play.

  • Hayley St. James: The Trade Federation, or, Let's Explore Globalization Through the Star Wars Prequels

    A hilarious, politically charged, anti-capitalist and anti-colonialist love letter to that series set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. By the end of the play you’ll leave educated, politically motivated, and wildly entertained. You will certainly never think about Jar-Jar the same way again...

  • Hayley St. James: Methtacular!

    One of the funniest, heart-shattering, cathartic evenings of solo theatre I’ve ever had. Strafford’s story of overcoming addiction is person and raw and full of emotion and joy and darkness and every feeling in between. A gift on stage as well as on the page.
