Three Short Plays
Ho, Ho, Ho,
We're All Delusional
by Greg Freier
A married couple adopt a mannequin as a
child. Throughout the play, we hear
the mannequin's point of view to all that
is said, and the young mannequin believes
he's the only one that can hear himself as
well. When he finds this not to be
fact, he finds himself in the one place a
mannequin would rather not end up.
However, karma places a nice trick at the
end, for a fittingly delusional and unique
conclusion.
Girl With
Algorithm
by Ellen Davis Sullivan
A young entrepreneur makes her pitch to an
experienced investor. Does she know
enough to get a loan? Or does she
know a little too much?
Irish Stew
by Cary Pepper
Lauretta and Carlton are getting on in
years. They’re losing their facility
with language, and their short-term memory
isn’t quite what it used to be. But years
ago, when they saw this coming, they made
a decision to not rage against it. As long
as they had each other.
And so, as they sit in their home,
physically agile but mentally short a few
key nouns... “Some days, sharp as a
tack. Other days, dumb as hammers.”...
They let it take as long as it does to
find the Irish shoe Lauretta keeps asking
for, remaining patient and loving amidst
all the false starts that are oh-so-common
now.
“What are we gonna do with each other?”
“What would we do without each other?”
