Plays for an Undressed Stage (It, Do, & Black and White)
It
10 Minute Play, Dramatic Comedy / 1 woman, 4 men
Unique and thought provoking with an ideal mixture of comedy and absurdist theatre. It begins with a solitary man standing in the center. He is tagged and proclaimed "it" by a younger man who darts onto the stage. The Man then sets out to either discover what "it" is or, if nothing else, to pass "it" off on someone else. The audience shares the confusion and frustration the Man feels, but the pieces eventually come together so that the mysterious nature of "it" becomes quite clear.
Do
Short Play, Drama / 2 men
This play of deceptive simplicity deals with two men engaged in an unusual confrontation. One is eager to prove he's the better of the two while the other chooses not to compete. A startling reversal raises questions about who is truly the aggressor. This captivating work reminds us we all must "play the game" in one way or another.
Black and White
Short Play, Drama / 2 men, 3 any gender (adult)
A man dressed in white sits in an all white room reading a white newspaper. Without warning, four men dressed in black enter carrying cans of black paint, and brushes. Though their intent is obvious, the man in white refuses to acknowledge them. The leader of the men in black, sensing resistance, has the others wait outside while he deals with the Man in White. With this ultimate conflict as the foundation, the play progresses into a fascinating theatrical work that is visually pleasing and intellectually satisfying.
