One Act Wonders

‘dentity Crisis by Christopher Durang, directed by Ryan Hull

Recovering from a nervous breakdown, Jane is nursed and nagged by her relentlessly cheerful mother, and confused by her oversexed brother—who keeps changing into her father, her grandfather and her mother’s French lover. Eventually all (including Jane’s psychiatrist, who undergoes a sex change operation and swaps places with his wife) change characters again and become Jane herself—leaving her with no identity at all and pointing up the near impossibility of self-identification in our uncertain times.

'dentity Crisis is presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.

Out at Sea by Slawomir Mrozek, directed by Karen Bain
Three men starving on a life raft must determine which of them is to become dinner for the other two. One is thin, one is medium, and one is fat. After the men employ a hilariously logical series of civil procedures to arrive at a solution, guess which one has to volunteer!

Out at Sea is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.


Conflict by Wade Bradford, directed by Deborah Jensen

A very amusing explanation of how we crave stories in which the protagonist experiences all kinds of hardship.

Conflict is presented by arrangement with Brooklyn Publishing.
