Synopsis: | Delia Dancer, Doughnut Girl is a modern melodrama that chronicles a ridiculous day and the challenges and struggles of a young woman who makes a living manufacturing doughnuts and sweet pastries in a small town doughnut factory. Structured as a radio program complete with phony commercials, parody songs, audience participation, and listener call-in spots, Delia Dancer, Doughnut Girl stretches theatrical forms but is deeply rooted in awful puns and wrapped around an apple pie and a cup of coffee of small town life. | |||||

Synopsis: | An irate, rude, and combative theatre patron (in your audience!) hijacks the cast, the crew, and his fellow theatre-goers and winds up stone cold dead at center stage. The Man in Seat 24 Or (The Uninvited Guest) is a murder mystery, a play-within-a-play, where a harried and frazzled theatre director investigates a murder--during a night of theatre gone wrong--and realizes that there is more to this evening's performance than meets the eye. | |||||

| Parts: | Male | 2 | Female | - | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Finger-pointing, name-calling, and shocking revelation! Blame, guilt, and a verbal battle royale that has lasted for years, (all of their lives!), through childhood's laughter and as an adult's sad tears. The Mistake is a fast-paced character study of two friends revealed in a nostalgia-based argument of comic memories, charged bickering and banter, and an unexpected reversal. A madcap, modern, private conversation and a humorous biting look at best friends. | |||||

Parts other: | Some Flexible Casting | |||||
Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | A young man's worst nightmare: his own personal life, mistakes and failures, is brought hilariously to the stage in a succession of embarrassing moments orchestrated and revealed by a Greek chorus of six nagging mothers in his head. Vexed and hounded by finger-pointing failure, nagging guilt, missed opportunities, and a son's duties and responsibilities, the young man's trials result in a playful, comical, and paranoid theatrical presentation of a conscience riddled by a mother's overprotective love and good intentions. | |||||
