  • George Sapio: Oldest in the County by Debra A. Cole
    “

    This folksy tale is not what one would expect. Hometowns hide many secrets, and gossipy butt-inns make trouble, and most times its best to let things lie. And some folks will never get the meaning of "MYOB." And sometimes justice isn't needed at all. Once again Deb Cole's spun herself a surprising tale sure to make audiences sit up straight!

  • George Sapio: UNHEARD (10-minutes) by Glenn Alterman

    Heartbreaking. The things that should have been said, that really needed to be said long before. A father and son, estranged, seek to find a way to connect...even just a little. But that would be enough. A truly beautiful 10-minute piece worthy of any night of one-acts.

  • George Sapio: Best Friends by Donald E. Baker
    “

    A blunt yet compassionate two-hander that examines the vicious guilt about "illicit" sexuality inflicted by society and religion. Eddie and Danny are victims of their culture, taught how to separate and hate rather than how to examine the nature of their own desires and see them as organic and innocent. It takes a crisis to bring them together and to find a way to do the right thing. A wonderful and honest play.

    Be careful about your "feelings"! For one young woman whose past has just been turned upside-down, life may never be the same. Or will it...? Another raucous comedy that should be done often!

    Where is the dividing line between appropriate behavior and honesty? Apparently it's what makes good neighbors--a fence! A lovely, fun two-hander.

  • George Sapio: The Boys Across the Street: A Monologue by Donald E. Baker
    “

    Brief, but very powerful speech that could come from any sanctimonious homophobe. Perfect for a night of LGBT-themed work. Hard to witness, but we need more work like this.

    What fun! My heart goes out to the princess, but my bet is always on the dragon. An insightful--but short--peek into the search for someone worthy. And the costume designer should have a ball with this one!

    Once again Ms. Feeny-Williams gives us an awkward setup and delivers the laughs. Writers are a little nuts, most of us understand that, and those long-suffering bystanders who've put up with the pomposity of fragile egos have to snap once in a while. Tons of fun for three comedic actors!

    Compassion is not always easy to feel. Mr. Baker pits a gay man who's just lost his love against a homophobic sister and the result will haunt you, as well as highlight the divide between humanity and fear. Poignant and boldly drawn.

    I can just see the actors champing at the bit to chew this one up. Olde worlde social customs vs modern, laid-back values (with a bit of kink thrown in for good measure) make this one a hilarious comedic romp.
