"Tom's Girls" by Elena Naskova (Full Length Play)
Tom is gone, but his fatal accident leads to a series of
complex deceptions. Three women left behind struggle with their
respective past, present and future. Can friendship exist when one
factor of a love triangle is removed? Can betrayal bring closure to
betrayals long past? A fascinating story of grief, forgiveness, and
exploitation, as a wounded woman's manipulation of relationships spins
dangerously out of control.
"Major Issues" by Shirley King (Fifteen Minute Play)
Brilliant scientist Wanda is about to get married. But
before she can, she has to let go of her obsession - saving planet
Earth. A desperate eleventh-hour attempt to lay her theories to rest,
through the ritual burial of a Reuben sandwich, seems blocked at every
turn by those who lack vision. In this short and frantic comedy,
everyone thinks Wanda's a little crazy, but all for different reasons.
