One-Act Plays

The Broker The Bettor  (3 males. 19 pages)
Three ne-er-do-wells splitting up the take they just obtained out of the pockets of a corpse they fished out of the Gowanus Canal. When the alpha-tramp describes how he plans to grow his share, the beta-tramps beg him to do the same for them. Are these three stooges? Hmm…

Patchmaker Patchmaker (1 female, 2 males. 28 pages)
A couple with an unconventional marriage (she goes out for long days at the office, he stays at home and putters) seek the help of an eccentric marriage counselor with an unconventional arbitration technique.

Pickup  (2 males. 18 pages)
Mark, a needy, unstable blue-collar guy, strikes up a conversation with Skip, comfortable and relaxed, in a bar. Is it a flirtation? Skip is intrigued. He doesn’t know it, but the encounter will lead to his destruction. Part of a suite of plays that end with someone getting shot.  (See notes for the collection, “Bang!)

Deathmeister  (2 males, 1 female. 24 pages)
Middle-aged parents who can’t deal with their young son. If a child actor is not available, this is a killer role for a small actress.

More to come. Visit often.
