  • DATE NIGHT?
    18 Mar. 2021
    I would LOVE to see this in front of an audience! I want to see their faces and hear their reactions. Having been on both sides of this situation in real life--both in uncomfortable but public confrontations with a 'date' (once when observers stepped in and once when they didn't) and also when I've stepped in to help a young woman who was obviously being harassed by her 'boyfriend'--this had a very real quality and brings up situations everyone needs to feel and understand.
  • Figure Out How to Live
    18 Mar. 2021
    This monologue captures a sweet moment in which a new mother talks to her newborn and --with baby's help--figures out how to love this new being in her life.
  • FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS
    15 Mar. 2021
    Funny at a time when we all need it, this play has at it's core a friendship between two working class women that we don't see on the stage often enough. Think Lucy and Ethel in their physical comedy, their give-and-take and the way they navigate the world, often by making unintentional waves.
  • A Conversation About Mom
    12 Mar. 2021
    JOHN BUSSER presents us with a wrenching conversation between father and son about Mom in a cemetery. Bitter reproaches and sweet memories ensue until the poignant twist at the end.
  • Annnd Scene (of the Crime)
    12 Mar. 2021
    Can you make satire of improv? Of course you can? And detective stories, too? Why not! ANND SCENE (OF THE CRIME) is pure fun for anyone who enjoys a little light-hearted skewering of genres. Yes, and--why not?
  • Out Of Order
    8 Mar. 2021
    This small play reflects on big consequences of a small incident. Juxtaposing the incident from the viewpoint of two girls highlights the stark differences that existed in the South at the time and still echo in our society today.

    Wow! Just wow! I read this play so quickly because I was immediately engaged with this character, her story and her situation. I was thoroughly taken by the contrast between the story and her life and the touching way she was trying to reach out. Her vulnerability in the end was gut-wrenching--especially now that we are all living in Covid isolation. I'd love to see this developed into a full-length, perhaps with scenes of the sisters meeting!
