Saturday Night Six-Pack

Six Short Plays - first time on stage!

New play readings of six new short plays. Light-hearted fare for late night entertainment!

The Lineup (subject to change):

• Taking Back the Stage
  Two cowboys trying to retake their stagecoach seize something far different.
• Finding God
  A young woman returns from Europe having found God, much to her parents' delight... Until God walks in after her.
• The Case of the Cereal Killer
  The investigation of a missing bowl of cereal takes unexpected turns.
• Intermission
  A couple breaks up halfway through The Nutcracker, seeing if they'll someday reunite for the show's (and their own) second act.
• Retrograde *
  Two co-workers go from hate to love, then follow the exact path in reverse back to hate.
  
• The Miles High Club
  A married astronaut couple's interview for the first Mars mission goes boldly where no one has gone before.

* Retrograde was originally produced in 1999, then at Theatre Row in New York in 2002 and elsewhere.

Though a hit already, it was recently rewritten as originally intended:
Instead of just the storyline being a palindrome (their course from hate to love to hate), all the dialogue in the entire play is now a palindrome without changing the story.
