| Summary: | "Originally created for streaming during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, these one-acts are perfect for audiences both in person and online."--Back cover. End of Days: The Minor Considerations List / by Tracy Thorne: Mabel makes lists, a lot of them, especially during these desperate times. Her current list details some of the less heroic stuff on her mind, but still...it's on her mind...and maybe some-thing not too terrible will come of it. (1 woman.) The Hug / by Marshall Foltz: When six feet feels more like six thousand miles, a child and a parent try to figure out how to connect in the age of social distancing. (2 n/s.) Forget-Me-Not / by Craig Pospisil: When you're stuck at home during a global pandemic, everything happens online--even high school reunions. Richard and Julia are old friends who happily reconnect--until Lizbeth, a younger woman, appears onscreen. Despite graduating from a different class, Lizbeth won't leave, infuriating Julia. But Lizbeth's desperate plea to stay leads to an admission and uncovers an old secret. (1 man, 2 women.) The Secret / by Crystal Skillman: Over months of quarantine, we follow Luna, a housecat. She watches with concern as her human dons a mask, leaves at odd hours with protest signs, reads newspapers with long lists of names, and becomes more anguished by the day. When Luna encounters a special visitor, she is given the key to resilience during pandemic. But can she make her human truly understand the secret? (1 n/s.) The Party Hop / by Natalie Margolin: THE PARTY HOP takes place on a Saturday night three years into quarantine. Three college sophomores, Ava, Emma, and Nancy, bounce from virtual party to virtual party in what is now a typical night *out.* However, when Emma and Nancy discover that Ava has not yet had her first kiss, they insist that tonight must be the night. Their given circumstances complicate this, but sometimes...it's nice to have a dream. (9 women, 5 men, flexible casting.) |
