05.09.2026

We have selected the plays for our next One Night Stand Theater production, “With Friends Like These…” Thank you to the many playwrights and writers who sent in their plays, short stories and poems for our June 14th celebration of friends and friendship. The seven short plays chosen feature both good friends and bad friends:

  • Ellen’s imaginary friend returns one last time in “Stranger Than Fiction” by Marjorie Williamson.

  • Beatrice and her friend sabotage her daughter’s wedding in “The Widow Makers” by Jye Bryant.

  • A cow and a goat make the best of a bad situation in “The Prodigal Cow” by Mark Harvey Levine.

  • Gary gets more than he bargained for when he rights a childhood wrong in “The Besting of Friends” by Craig McNamara.

  • Jack and Liz’s friends disrupt their divorce plans in “Friendly Persuasion” by Dan Borengasser.

  • Lauren’s college friend threatens to ruin her career in “October Surprise” by Robert Weibezahl.

  • Owen teaches Sam a thing or two about beer and life in “Venom” by Jim Moss.
