Because I Wanted to Say
is a ten-minute dramatic comedy by Sean O'Donnell: AIDS has
taken Steven, Ann's best friend. She relives funny, touching, and
important moments from their long friendship in her mind, trying to
come to terms with his death and to make sure that nothing is left
unsaid. (Cast: 1 female, 1 female).
Brothers
is a short comedy by William Gadea: In this sweet and wacky
comedy, Biff meets Lorraine through the personals and takes her home
with him. He neglects to mention that he is really trying to fix her
up with his brother Ray, and that Ray has no head. Will Ray find
romance? Will Lorraine catch on to his complicated sign language? Can
Biff atone for the guilt he feels about his brother's headlessness?
(Cast: 1 female, 2 female).
For Tiger Lilies Out of
Season is a long one-act drama by Andrea M. Green:
An intimate, affirmative account of a battle to live fully beyond
physical survival, this poetic piece, half dream and half reality,
follows one woman's rite of passage through the experience of breast
cancer. Justine Danieu, a divorced, educated, and talented
photographer, is on the brink of professional success when a routine
mammography reveals a malignancy. As she interacts with doctors,
family, and support group members, she questions the certitudes of
her existence. Her courage in facing a difficult decision about
treatment is a metaphor for her coming of age. Humour and pathos are
interwoven in this story of human potential in adversity. (Cast: 5
female, 1 female, 1 girl).
The Last Dance
is a short comedy by Clare Tattersall: In a last-ditch stab at
happiness, a twenty-eight-year-old woman on the brink of despair
places a classified ad for "...a dance partner for hours of
pleasure. Must be experienced and handsome." Devouring Twinkies
to feed her desire and talking incessantly to conceal rampant
nervousness as she attempts to seduce an equally quirky auditionee,
she inadvertently discloses her morbid childhood. (Cast: 1 female, 1
female).
The Most Perfect Day
is a ten-minute comedy by Peter Ernst: Tom is engaged in his
favourite pastime: picnicking with his beloved Karen, who he believes
is the most beautiful woman in the world. He cannot, however,
convince her of this. A famous critic arrives and a lost parachutist
descends. They are instantly infatuated, proving Tom's point while
driving his love to the breaking point. This surprising, insightful
comedy is ideal for stage, classroom, and cabaret productions. (Cast:
1 female, 3 female).
This Is How It Is
is a short comedy by Bryan Patrick Moses: Sam and David,
college seniors, meet at their local bar. When Jill enters, Sam
watches as David tries to hook her with his "nonverbal codes."
This balance of power play provides shifts and turns that are certain
to delight audiences, especially college groups. (Cast: 1 female, 3
female).
Tremulous
is a short comedy by Le Wilhelm: In this touching, funny, and
poignant play, two awkward teens meet in an orchard to carry out
their pre-planned suicides. The girls discuss friendship, feelings,
and fears, observe the life around them, and opt for life. (Cast: 2
female).
