The Participant's Repose (working title) by Matthew Wooller
It hasn't been performed for over 75 years, an illusion so deadly that it has been shunned by the world of magic. Tonight - one gun, one bullet and one guess - will it be the right guess or the wrong guess? Only the pull of a trigger will reveal the answer. WARNING: Not for those of a nervous disposition.
Roles: 2, both non-gender specific.
Killer First Impressions (working title) by Salvador Esparza
First impressions can be tough. What to wear? What to say--or more importantly, what not to say? Young and eager, Andrew finds himself at an intimate dinner rendezvous with a man he would kill to meet. Will he gets what he's yearning for as the evening grows longer, the drinks grow stronger, and inhibitions are discarded?
Roles: 2 male, 1 non-gender specific
Thirty Seconds (working title) by Zachariah Chamberlaine
If you were going to be haunted, you'd want to be haunted by a real legend of a ghost – but not everyone gets their wish. This play contains two characters who never appear on stage as they possess various inanimate objects. The ghosts' soundtrack will be pre-recorded, so if you do voice acting for this play, you could also appear "live" in other plays.
2 voice acting roles: a nerdy ghost (M), an obnoxious ex (M)
Mrs. Claus by Leben Norrie
It’s late, Halloween night. Jerry, a tired and overworked detective, has been asked stay late and hold a suspect for questioning. Special Agent Johnson is certain she’s found the man she’s been hunting for years. Will she get the answers she needs? Is there more to this costumed stranger than ever imagined?
Roles: 1 Female / 2 Male
Dead With Benefits by Leben Norrie
(A Dark Comedy Sitcom with a Laugh Track)
On today's hilarious season finale, Jeff finds himself a “freshy”; but sometimes, if it seems too good to be true, it is. What insights and twists shall be uncovered when the stranger reveals a dark secret? They seem to make sitcoms about ANYTHING these days. “Dead With Benefits” is filmed in front of a live studio audience.
2 Roles: Male / Neutral
