Plays and Playwrights 2010

Our newest anthology is now available with 10 plays by an innovative, talented group of playwrights.  Plus a Foreword by Leslie Bramm and an Introduction by Martin Denton. Here's what you'll find between the covers of this, our 11th yearly anthology. The Invitation by Brian Parks - A birthday dinner celebration among a group of highly successful friends takes an abrupt peculiar turn in a play that veers maniacally and sardonically through the worlds of politics, art, and revenge.

• Flip Side by Ellen Maddow - A comedy of misperceptions and mismatches in which two sets of characters - played by the same six actors - occupy two different worlds.
• Any Day Now by Nat Cassidy - A three act drama about a typically dysfunctional American family dealing with a rather atypical problem, the dead are coming back to life.
• The Spin Cycle by Jerrod Bogard - Five short linked plays create a collage of contemporary America - from Lady Liberty to the Hollywood Hills to an army base in Iraq - as ordinary folks attempt to "spin" troubling aspects of their life.
• Suspicious Package: Rx by Gyda Arber and Aaron Baker - A Twilight Zone-esque sci-fi thriller that takes the form of an interactive adventure for audience members, who portray all the characters in this innovative play.
• Our Country by Tony Asaro and Dan Collins - Outed in a public restroom, country music sensation Tommy Dautry has gone from darling to derelict overnight. But now, in this exciting and heartfelt musical, Tommy is back and ready to prove that gay or straight, left or right...it's Our Country, too
• Maddy: A Modern-Day Medea by Will Le Vasseur - An adaptation of the classic Greek tragedy sown in the heartland of America at the Corinthian Trailer Park, with a supernatural element thrown into the mix.
• Al's Business Cards by Josh Koenigsberg - When gaffing assistant Al Gurvis' s new business cards are accidently swapped with those of a real estate agent, it sets off a chain of events with hilarious - and profound - consequences.
