This is a Test

by Stephen Gregg

Directed by Jason Heffle*

Assistant Direction by William M. Torres, Jr.*

"As the ticking clock reminds you, only 60 minutes remain to complete this oh-so-important predictor of your future. But you didn't get the review sheets, the teacher doesn't like you and your classmates are blatantly cheating. Time passes and the voices in your head remind you that though you are having trouble with the test, your personal life is far, far worse. Then you reach the essay question. The good news—it's an opinion essay. The bad news—it's in Chinese. And things aren't going to get better!"

Small Actors

by Stephen Gregg

Directed by Stephen Yachuw*

Assistant Direction by Rebecca Robertson*

"Emily desperately wants to play the lead in her high school's production of Romeo and Juliet. Instead, she gets a one-line, four-word role. None the less, she tells her parents (who will be out of town during the performance) that she got the lead, and suddenly, things spin way out of control. Mom and Dad cancel their vacation plans and invite every relative they can round up to come visit and see their daughter play Juliet. This outlandishly funny and very touching play is about the roles we all play—in theatre and in life."

Prom Night

by Sylvia Davenport-Veith

Directed by Ally Panzica*

Assistant Direction by Sarah Iannone

"Prom night has not been fun for Imena Hart. She fought off her date, tore her dress, broke her high heel, left her glasses at home and her mother won't stop calling. Dillon McGinty's not having a ball, either. His date wasn't named Prom Queen, so she got drunk and accused Dillon of not being fun anymore. This unlikely pair meet in the woods on a moonlit night in their fancy clothes. They tell the truth, share secret wishes and find out what's behind the "uncool" Catholic girl and the linebacker Prom King. Together, Dillon and Imena create their own prom night magic."

Baby

by Conrad E. Davidson

Directed by Robin Harris

"In this fast-paced play, Baby completely forgets his (or her) pre baby training and is completely overwhelmed by adults from birth to the first birthday. Bad breath in the face, being tossed high into the air, and unwanted vocabulary lessons assail the infant before Baby is coached to employ tricks that drive adults to distraction."
