2020 Program

Hurry Up It’s Almost Bedtime by Janice Neal
Directed by Anthony Nathan with Emerging Artists Theatre

Aloha Apocalypse by Marcia Eppich-Harris

Ed and Sophie wake up on January 13, 2018, to learn that their Hawaiian vacation is being interrupted by nuclear war. To ease his conscience before they die, Ed confesses his long-kept secret to his wife. As they say goodbye to one apocalypse, the couple says hello to a new one.  

Don’t Toy With Me by Andrew Black
Directed by Casey Ross with Catalyst Repertory Theatre 
A chance meeting between G.I. Joe and Ken in the Malibu Barbie Beach House leads to complications when it turns out the two men experience an attraction for one another that Barbie most certainly will not approve of.  How will the two resolve their feelings for one another under the watchful eye of one of the most famous blondes in the world? 

Are You Busy Tonight? by Russell Ridgeway
Directed by Anthony Nathan with Emerging Artists Theatre 
Are you busy tonight? It’s a simple question really. But so much more can be learned, and laughed at, from answers. Especially when the questioner becomes the questioned. 

Promposal! by Josie Gingrich
Directed by Spencer Elliot with Heritage Christian High School Theatre Department
Oblivious, big-hearted Sam has grand plans (a glitter bomb! a marching band!) to ask introverted Anna to prom, but he has SERIOUSLY misjudged the situation.  

Ordained by Mark Harvey Levine
Directed by Megan Ann Jacobs with Rapture Theatre 
Sharon has a license — and she’s not afraid to use it!  

Sock Puppet Fetish Noir by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos
Directed by Casey Ross with Catalyst Repertory Theatre 
Jane’s socks are missing, and she needs the help of “Darrell”, a sock puppet investigator, to find them. But “Darrell” has issues. As it turns out, so does Jane.
