SHORT PLAYS: 10-MINUTES OR ONE ACTS
Laugh, cry, wonder, want more
My 10-minute plays and short one acts pack a lot of punch into small frames. Fast, funny, and a little dangerous. They are caffeinated theatrical espresso shots where the barista knows the score.
Whether it’s a workplace unraveling, a poet inhaling the sky, an oligarch meeting the committee of fun, the war of words as a bonfire is lit, these shorts take ordinary moments and push them just far enough into the absurd where audiences can’t help but laugh, gasp, and wonder what might happen if life really worked that way.
Big ideas sneak in under the comedy,. And no scene overstays its welcome.
They’re quick trips into wild situations that still leave room for insight, often catching a truth about human behavior in the middle of the chaos.
Smart satire collides with sharp dialogue.
These plays are fun for actors to perform, for audiences to watch, and for anyone who enjoys seeing the rules of everyday life gleefully bent in ten or twenty minutes of theatrical delight.
