Synopsis

This vibrant collection contains seven short plays, both funny and moving. After the Beep: Lynn and Scott have been together for a lot of years. When Bianca, a strange woman from Scott's past, leaves a message on the answering machine, what follows is a brutal argument full of old suspicions and nagging fears. Perfect Meetings: When Mark meets Alice, he knows he has met his perfect woman. The only problem, he forgets to find out her last name. What follows is Mark's absurd but entertaining quest via the telephone to find Alice again. No Voice: Nadine has heard voices all her life. To make her well, Cook must take those voices from her as we look at what's real, what's right and what's sane in a world where nothing is what it seems ... History (and a Dash of Hollywood): Benjamin Franklin,inventor, founding father, one of our time's most respected thinkers. A look at what one movie exec, one little idea and the quest for money can do to something as malleable as history. Spaghetti Proposal: Asking the woman you love to marry you is never easy. It has to be unique, memorable and honest. This proposal's got all that and a big bowl of spaghetti, too! Dancing Blind; Julianna and Patrick are falling in love and want to learn everything about each other, so Julianna tells him a story of the greatest gift and greatest loss in her life. The Tarantino Variation: Three wise guys, a lot of attitude, handguns and a Mexican standoff.

Customer Reviews

What a great evening of entertainment! The audience loved the variety and the stories. Tarantino Variation: Our addition of a "Mexican" guitarist supplying the soundtrack was a great moment.

Steve Olson, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Perfect Meetings is a play with a lot of human charm. A love story with a moment of seriousness. An excellent vehicle for a male actor.

Jim Patrick, Pine Crest School, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Spaghetti Proposal is very easy to produceÑbasically a table, two chairs and a bowl of spaghetti. It is very funny yet sweet and touching.
