PARODY THIS!
Comedy​, 100-120 min, (4-40+actors)
​Co-written with Patrick Greene and Brendan Main​

Have you ever wondered what the classic story of Oedipus would be like if it were done...on ice? Or what the beloved play 12 Angry Men would look life if it were performed by one woman? Or what would happen if Dr. Frankenstein opened a shop in the mall? Well, now you don’t have to! The writers of Parody This! have answered these completely inane questions and more in a madcap, whirlwind show that can be performed with as few as four actors, a couple of flats, some costume pieces, and willingness to be completely silly—as long as you don't try to talk directly to your audience, or someone may build an actual fourth wall to stop you. Parody This! is a seriously unserious ode to theatre, classic literature...and bananas.

Individual plays can be performed separately or together.

THE CONTINUUM TALES
Drama collection, 100-120 minutes, 5-41 actors possible

A birthday for a man who doesn't know his age. A song that taunts a desperate prisoner. A storm bearing down on an unusal roadside motel. A couple finds them all in a mysterious book, said to be cursed, called... The Continuum Tales. In the spirit of The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror, this genre-bending collection of seven short plays explores weird, futuristic, and haunting worlds eerily similar to our own. Filled with strange and humorous tales of technology gone wrong, nightmares of the mind, and what happens when we let our fears get the best of us, this modern sci-fi collection is sure to entertain.

Individual plays can be performed separately or together.
