About the scripts:
A Pirates’ Pact
Lady Neptune, the Queen of Pirates, is an accomplished captain with everything she could possibly desire. When an Eldritch being arrives to finish a forgotten bargain, Lady Neptune must embark on a journey to save something more important than any other asset she owns. Join us throughout this incredible quest as we journey through the briny deep in search of friends, foes, and family.
The Lonesome Writer
Awkward writer N. Parable’s life is mundane and lonely until a once-in-a-lifetime promotion is handed to him on a silver platter, and he gets the chance to experience real human connection for the first time.
When the company’s new artificial intelligence A.B.E.L. is assigned to help the writing department with their work, Parable’s dreams of sharing his perfect story with the world start to slip from his grasp. It’s a heartfelt story about the essence of perfection, relationships, and learning to let go.
REHEARSAL CALENDARCHARACTER LIST
What is a Stage Reading?
The first presentation of a new work is typically done as a reading. These two one act musicals will be part of a stage reading, where actors perform the show holding scripts and with minimal design elements, staging, or choreography. The show is not memorized, and new pages and script/music changes can be made up to opening night.
