Our Plays
A Case Of Anxiety
by Mark Harvey Levine, directed by Nick Suchomel
Robert keeps dying, over and over again. An Agatha Christie-like Inspector tries to solve the case, but only his wife Marissa can truly save him.
Geronimo!
by F.J. Hartland, directed by Lori Alsdurf
Two young brothers discover that it takes courage to jump off the roof (literally and figuratively).
Dances With Wives
by Guy R. Newsham, directed by John Haynes
Claire and Jordie are divorced, and watch on as their newly-married daughter takes her first dance with her husband. Claire and Jordie seem prickly at first, and take shots at each other's new partners. But as they recall their prior courtship, and the DJ plays "their song", perhaps there's reconciliation.
Toward the Unknown Region
by William Ivor Fowkes, directed by Emma Paquette
Four strangers in a waiting room disagree about what’s going to happen next. One by one, they are called into the next room, where the ultimate answer awaits.
Such Dreams as Stuff is Made On
by Dan McGeehan, directed by Brand Willey
An upscale couple are surprised to find their house was broken into; they are more surprised to find that nothing was stolen; and they are most surprised when the burglars return with a message.
Justice Served
by Ed Friedman, directed by Andrew Nawrocki
A lawyer in the city’s District Attorney’s office is about to prosecute a case of gay-bashing. He encounters unexpected interference as well as a complication in the case.
Christmastown
by Kayla Hambek, directed by Katlyn Moser
Every day is Christmas in Christmastown! When Allie wakes up in this strange Hallmark movie of a town, she must decide whether to stay with strangely perfect movie boyfriend Lance, or return to her real life in Kansas City. Nothing a little hot chocolate can't cure, right?
