From Cradle to Stage – An Evening of One-Acts
Sea of Green by Andy Garland; Directed by Taylor Chadwick; Dramaturgy by Brian Dooley
A hot summer day in the city. Election day. As the polls close and ballots are counted, people everywhere are jubilant over the expected defeat of the incumbent President. But when the results come back hope turns quickly to despair… and then to public outrage. Violent protests grip the city, and as police and protesters clash in the streets, heroes and martyrs emerge, the people must struggle to have their voices heard… and to survive. Winner of the Uprising National Playwriting Competition: Peace, Politics and Society (2009) under the title Stillborn.

Kiss Within a Kiss by Jim Herchak; Directed by Anne Marie Szucs; Dramaturgy by Tracy Carroll
Sixteen-year-old Kathy’s first kiss is about to occur. She knows exactly how and when because it’s in the script (page 17, line 3). But she’s having second thoughts about giving her first kiss to someone she barely knows. Shawn is ten years older, and after his last, very adult play, this kiss is small potatoes. So why is he having second thoughts too? Mira, the play’s hard-driving director, has no time for their foolishness. After all, it’s just a kiss.
CHARACTERS
- Kathy, female, 16 years old
- Shawn, male, late twenties
- Mira, female, 32 years old
