New Play Exchange
In the early 2000s, a group of middle school kids meet to put on a passion play. When one of the children witnesses a private moment, they must choose between the love of their friends and their eternal salvation. Moving between the past and present, the play looks at the impact of religious trauma and the difficulties of discovering your identity in an environment that wants you to stay hidden.
Horsegirl, a trans woman in her thirties, lives a life of routine alongside her father, Cowdaddy—until she falls in love with Bethel, a new-to-town teacher with a goal of improving the lives of everyone they meet. Over the course of their summer romance, Bethel physically transforms Horsegirl into the person (or thing) they want her to be. Cowdaddy’s attempts to pull his daughter back to him leads to an explosive confrontation between all of them, in the wake of which Horsegirl must decide for herself what a happy life looks like.
ONE ACTS
A young queer person navigates their anxiety about moving in with their partner for the first time. Set on the interstate between Baltimore and Washington D.C., A DRIVING PLAY is a prose poem for the stage, asking what it means to share space with another person, and if that's what love looks like.
Intermixing monologue, vignette, and image-based movement, THE END OF THINGS. explores relationships at their point of expiration. Marriages crumble. Bodies decay. And a potentially apocalyptic threat to the planet looms unseen above it all.
10 MINUTE PLAYS
What would you do to keep someone you love around just a little bit longer?
In a town where daylight occurs for only seven minutes every year, a couple sees one another for the first time--in more ways than one.
