Three original one-act plays:

Working For a Laugh

by Paul Story and Janet Schlapkohl

A newly-single stand-up comedian finds out what is (and isn't!) funny when he discovers he's not the only one trapped in his apartment.

Cast: Michael Penick

Directed by Krista Neumann

...And Quarantine Makes Three

by Brian Tanner

When a pandemic puts a strain on Kate and David's relationship, they try to get away from it all. But a bungling bellhop inadvertently gets wrapped up in their troubles, with ridiculous results!

Cast: Greg Tucker, Emily McKnight, Melanie Chervek

Directed by Adeara Jean Maurice

Scandinavian Death Cleaning

by Christopher Okiishi

Produced in collaboration with Crooked Path Theatre

Cleaning house. The phrase can have so many meanings. Simple maintenance of one's home...or the overhaul of one's whole life. When Walter and Marie consider cleaning house, hilarity might ensue. Or maybe just some kind of understanding.

Cast: Ron Clark*, Jody Hovland*, Patrick Du Laney*

Directed by Christopher Okiishi
