“Well, I don’t intend to abandon my best bud just for a bowl of potato salad.” – Friendly Persuasion by Dan Borengasser

The Widow Makers by Jye Bryant

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.

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