  • Maripat Allen: The Grand Delusion - A Modern Tragedy of Reality

    George is certain he can "manifest" his dreams by "following his bliss." Too bad reality gets in the way. A hilarious, pointed comedy that indicts pop psychology that tells us just what we want to hear.

  • Maripat Allen: ALPHABET SOUP

    A delightful, timely comedy about the importance and difficulties of becoming being truly inclusive in theatre. Great for community theater and Senior theater!

  • Maripat Allen: AUFSEHERIN

    Wow! This play is SO powerful, I felt like I needed a recovery period after reading it Based on a a real historical figure it presents a fictional event which will make the audience gulp and ask "What would I do?" Complex and nuanced, vivid and chilling, thought provoking and extremely impactful, it's what theater at it's best is all about.

  • Maripat Allen: THE EIGHT

    What a beautiful and moving story about the costs of war, to soldiers and their families, and what we owe our fellow humans, both living and dead. Original, thought provoking, moving, it would be especially meaningful for Veteran's Day, and especially relevant to military families.

  • Maripat Allen: THE MUSIC MADE MAN: DJANGO IN AMERICA

    What a fascinating play about a fascinating historical figure! I would love to see this and hear Django's music as well. A double treat!

  • Maripat Allen: BEING ZELENSKYY--A MONOLOGUE

    This play is so powerful, heartbreaking, and although on the surface about the war in Ukraine, timeless. In three pages Plummer brings to vivid life a character desperate to make his life meaningful, even if it means the ultimate sacrifice. Very moving.

  • Maripat Allen: Overlook

    Wow! This psychological thriller instantly plunged me into the characters' dark worlds and minds, and held me right there until after it ended. Besides being gripping, it has something to say, and does so powerfully through artful story telling. Compellilng, thought provoking, chilling, this would be a great part of any ten minute play festival.

  • Maripat Allen: Roach Revolt

    This comedic allegorical play takes on cockroaches' point of view in the war between them and humans. Funny and original, it uses humor to demonstrate the social controls that are used to perpetuate enmity and othering. Both fun and thought provoking, this is a play that will make audiences laugh, while giving them lots to discuss afterward.

  • Maripat Allen: I AM BLACK

    Wow! This play deftly pulls off being both hilarious and profound. Jamal, a black college student, comes out to his parents as gay. Turns out they have no problem with that, but are worried he is becoming white! They feel betrayed when he shows interest in white culture, while Jamal just wants to pursue what interests him, while maintaining his identity as a black man. This play asks how one can be part of a subculture and still integrate into a mainstream culture--one that oppressed and enslaved one's people. Loved it!

  • Maripat Allen: Give Me Your Skin

    Wow! What an interesting premise and what a wonderfully creepy execution of it! Original and unpredictable. I'd love to see this staged!
