About the plays
Landering Truth takes place in the medium small conservative town of Scheahhana - your state. The theater Teacher, a young professional named Landry, has been called in by the superintendent Mr. Lorditall, to “give account” for allegedly swearing at a rehearsal. The Principal / Superintendent / Head football coach has called witnesses - the students who heard it all. He has one goal in mind - close the theater department to give the athletic department more - everything. Will he succeed?
Wife, a wedding comedy about the triumph of love over experience, invites you to dance and fall in love again. The wedding couple is tying the knot for the fourth time--This time it's gonna work.
Told through the words of women of renown, THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID is a one act play that moves female discourse from a double entendre joke to multi-generational discussion on what it means to be female in America when much of the country wants her to sit down and shush.
