Audience members are invited to come on up, share a pint with our plays, and partake of the Irish hospitality of Finbarr and Jerry’s Old Court Pub in Lowell, in the wonderful intimacy that only live theater can deliver.
BLIND TASTING by Erik Sherman Vincent Gwin has his hands full when he runs into his old lover, Adina Perito at a “blind” wine tasting event… the double entendres fly as the wine goes down in this delightful duel that elevates snobbery to an art form.
THE SPACE BESIDE ME by Janet Kenney Melody’s sister’s rehearsal party is over, and Uncle Bob has second thoughts about escorting the bride down the aisle in Janet Kenney’s heartfelt examination of loss and the emotional bonds of family.
CRAB LEGS by George Sauer Poor Tonya Harding! Even in a seafood restaurant this poor girl can’t buy a break from her intense competition with ice princess Nancy Kerrigan… or can she?
POSSIBILITIES by Peter M. Floyd When Donna goes to a singles bar with her best friend Janie, she never expected to find out that she is the Queen of a Galaxy in another dimension… an out of this world play that bends the quantum physics of the dating scene.
A BAR A MAN WALKS INTO by Robert Boulrice When God’s own son is the bartender at this establishment, patrons have a tendency to unburden in the strangest ways. A darkly humorous look at the magnetic attraction of the local tavern.
THE WATERING HOLE by Karla Sorenson It’s a tough singles scene when you’re over 40 and the guys look younger and younger. Judy and Kate tread through the always dangerous waters of the mating game in this humorous look at middle aged anxiety.
MAN WALKS INTO A BAR by Lonnie Farmer a man walks into a bar, says to the Bartender “I just killed a guy… double Jack, straight up”. So begins a tale of life and death, served up with a twist.
