Labor Pains
Labor Pains
Written by Michele Palermo
Directed by Shelly Peterson
In this award-winning comedy about the unpredictable journey of parenthood, a couple is thrown into chaos when labor begins earlier than expected. Unprepared and overwhelmed, they find themselves in a humorous and heartfelt battle of the sexes as they confront their anxieties and expectations. Blending comedy with touching moments, this slice-of-life story offers rich scenes and monologues that capture the excitement, fear, and humor of impending parenthood.
Run Time: Approximately 10 minutes
Labor Pains is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals www.concordtheatricals.com
The Actor's Nightmare
The Actor's Nightmare
Written by Christopher Durang
Directed by Kirk Thomas
The Actor's Nightmare by Christopher Durang is a hilarious one-act comedy that dives into every actor's worst fear: being unprepared on stage. The story follows George, an ordinary man who finds himself inexplicably thrust into a series of bizarre, mismatched plays, from Shakespeare to Noël Coward, without knowing his lines, his role, or even how he got there. As George stumbles through the surreal scenes and tries to keep up with eccentric co-stars, the absurdity builds, leading to a chaotic and comically nightmarish finale. Durang’s play is a witty exploration of anxiety, identity, and the unpredictable nature of life on stage.
Run Time: Approximately 40 minutes
The Actor’s Nightmare is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Services, Inc.
A Dream Once Lost
A Dream Once Lost
Written by Tia Shearer Bassett
Directed by Courtney Miller
An oracle. A room of keys. Italy. (Italy?) Well…Perceived Italy. These are just a few of the stops in Sophi’s quest to save her father. Full of puns and poetry, wisdom and whimsy, and brimming with heart, a dream once lost explores the delicate journey of losing those we love while finding ourselves along the way.
Run Time: Approximately 40 minutes
a dream once lost is presented by special arrangement with Uproar Theatrics www.uproartheatrics.com
