About the Show

This evening of three one-act plays explores the particularities of womanhood and the hope of those who wait.

From the show:

FIXIN’ takes place at the bottom. Ruthy waits in abandoned supermarket parking lot everyday. Willa wants to know what a dog and their ex-foster mother/Madam, “Mama”, has to do with it.

GAMEPLAY is as much about the inane rules of Brooklyn dating/hookup culture as it is a cheeky, Scrabble-filled wink at Waiting for Godot.

WATER STRIDER / JESUS BUG was written in conversation with Susan Glaspell’s “Trifles.” In a 1965 NYC laundromat, Indie and Rhea are keeping secrets from each other for the first time in their unlikely friendship.

This play was a finalist for the 2017 Judith Barlow Prize by History Matters/Back to the Future, an organization dedicated to celebrating historic women’s plays.

Clever, Quirky, Indulgent, Edgy, Ambitious

See it if 3 one acts by a newer artist. If you want to see new works. Nifty little theater st Mark's downstairs.

Don't see it if The plot on all 3 are not always strong. Acting for most part is good but sporadic at times.

Intelligent, Great acting, Great writing, Thought-provoking, Entertaining

See it if you would enjoy new, young voices dealing with some age-old issues, presented in brief with limited staging that focuses on the discussion.

Don't see it if you are looking for fully developed drama - here the actors draw you to the situations and leave you with a lot to think about.
