Description

Experience an exhilarating event at The Griffin Theatre's One Act Showcase, where a diverse range of short plays directed by different directors will transport you into captivating worlds of storytelling. Each director brings their unique vision and artistic flair, infusing the showcase with an exciting variety of perspectives and styles.


Pit of My Stomach 

Nina is a teenager who lives from place to place with her Dad (who she calls Charlie) hustling to make ends meet. Nina tries to get through to her dad about wanting him to stop leading a criminal life in order for her to have a normal one.


Flooding 

Brenda and Charlie try to take a simple drive to a coffee shop. But there's a problem. Brenda has a phobia of cars, and Charlie has a phobia of small spaces. As the two phobics struggle to put the key in the ignition and close the door, they end up bearing their hearts.   


A Beautiful Ogre and Other Fairytales 

A father reads his daughter a fairy tale as a bedtime story — which the characters begin to act out. The girl doesn’t like how the story is going — no strong female role models, for instance — so she changes it all around.


That Play About the Gurgling Mud Pit 

A director tries to explain a new play to the crew. Opinions vary.


Unquestionable Evil 

Dwayne and Charlene. Overbearing, eco-conscious parents, who expect WAY too much of their seven year old daughter.


The Bronze Lining 

Two sisters dealing with the death of their mother. They don’t have the best relationship, and bicker like they’re still children


CINDY AND JULIE

Cinderella and Juliet commiserate about romantic love, happily ever after and what went wrong with their marriages


GPS-An Auto-Erotic Comedy

The sexy and suggestive computer voice of a high tech automobile becomes jealous of the new owner's girlfriend(boyfriend) and threatens to destroy his(her) life in this modern and very timely one act script. Imagine Siri run amock.


Holding Ginger

When Jenna breaks a special gift a boy gave her older sister, they are not only faced with broken glass to clean up, but they are also faced with the changing dynamics of their family.


MOM’S KITCHEN

What if there was a restaurant called “Mom’s Kitchen” where all the waitresses treat you like you’re at your mother’s for dinner? Bill decides to bring Betty there on their first dinner date, following the Peruvian film festival with all the subtitles in Dutch. So far he’s made a hash of it. What will Mom think? Well besides arriving very late for dinner(‘What time do you call this?’) and slouching in his chair, mom proceeds to berate the poor guy in front of Betty about how he never calls, or writes, his choice of coffee as a drink and what he chooses to eat on the menu. She’s so convincing that Betty starts to wonder if she is actually Bill’s real mother?
