This years shows are:

Broadway Bound
Written by Michael Burgan; Directed by Kelly Dolejsi
What happens to actors that die in a theater? What do they think of the traditional ghost light? Do they have dreams of going to Broadway still? What does the house manager think of all of this? Sam just wants to have the toilet stop overflowing. The others, they dream of going to Broadway.
A Supermarket Adventure
Written by Christiane Bounds; Directed by Ashley Horner
Do you own the shopping cart at the grocers? Can your shopping list be used as evidence? One woman deals with trying to do the shopping while dealing with men. It gets complicated quickly.
How to Bake Bread
Written by Terry Beery; Directed by Stacy Buck
One woman’s quest to find the perfect way to make bread pan out, even at high altitude. Beware of puns.
The Writing Lesson
Written by Kelly Dolesji; Directed by Alex DiBranco
Rosetta is a writer. She loves being in the park, working on her stories and looking at the artful stone paths. She is a writer, well that’s what she tells herself, while everyone around her seems to be able to finish and publish their work. Wait, did you hear something?
The Explaining Room
Written by Helen Rynaski; Directed by Ken Milder
Sartre said that hell is other people, but what if it’s actually waiting rooms with a holding message? Especially if you’re waiting to move on with your after-life. Two women explore their thoughts on life after death.
An Audience of One
Written by John Gustafson; Directed by Pat Beck
Best friends, Sylvia and Audrey chat in the park about the wonders of choice that comes with retired husbands versus working paramours. What does one do with an idol partner? Surely idle hands aren’t all that bad.
Three by Five
Written by Ryan Parker; Directed by Patrick Webb
Friends Alex and Chris decided to hike the Appalachian trail. They meet a fellow traveler, Grizz who often camps with them. Alex tries to write a postcard to her dad about the trip, but keeps getting interrupted. Now, where can she post this card? Would you still try to connect with your family if you got separated?
A Victorian Melodrama
Written by Charles Langley; Directed by Matt DeSmith
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a widower father must betroth his young daughter to a dastardly villain. Lucy is a young girl torn between two loves: dutifulness to her parents, and Berrycroft, a penniless poet. Will the lovers run away, or will Lucy marry the dastard Lord Percy?
