New Plays!
We are excited to announce three witty plays. They'll
be a hit online, as Readers Theatre, or fully-staged.
Romance
Reconfigured
15 minute comedy, 1 man, 1 woman
Mimsy and Stephan (that’s Ste-PHAN, with the emphasis on the second
syllable), are alone yet together for their weekly Zoom date.
Without much to talk about, these two still keep things
spicy!
Telemarketer
Torment
15 minute comedy, 3 men, 4 women
Silvia hatches a brilliant idea for how to handle telemarketers.
She no longer hangs up in anger. With her new strategy, they can’t
get off the call fast enough!
About Pamela
Loyd: Pamela’s first life calling was helping
people become psychologically healthier and happier through a
career as a counselor. Now she helps audiences around the world
have a healthy laugh with her comical plays and spirited
characters. She created these two plays with online performances in
mind, but they'll be marvelous fully-staged as well. Click here for
more plays by Pamela Loyd.
And take a look at another new play, A Dog Barks, by a wonderful
author Dwight Watson. The snappy dialogue makes it a very
successful show online:
A Dog Barks
10 minute comedy, 1 man, 1 woman
A fun comedy about a quick-witted couple, noise ordinances, and
their 40-year anniversary.

Our Plays are Being Performed!
"We had such a wonderful time working with the
script!" shared Ariel, about a recent production of House of Tomorrow. We
thank her for sending us photos of their production.
We were thrilled to see Christina's images that she
shared with us. She wrote, "Our Christmas program was a great
success! Our photos only begin to convey how well our production
went. From left to right, we featured Sara Plays Her Game, The Holiday
Letter, and Merry
Christmas/Happy Thanksgiving."
- C. Miller, photo above, told us that her
performance in California of the monologue Sara
Plays her Game was a marvelous success,
stating, "The play demonstrates the ingenuity and
resilience of people living under an extremely stressful
situation...It is a very serious play but at the same time, it
is uplifting."
- Audiences in Florida are still talking
about the wonderful and fun production of Casserole
Cassanova.
- The production of Senior Moments in
California was a hit.
- Does this Show Make My Butt Look Fat? sparked conversations and laughter in
Florida.
- The hilarious internet romantic comedy, Bagels, was a
huge success in California.
- A theatre company performed Digging Up Hoffa
and Spaghetti Western
in Arizona to rave reviews. They're still trying to decide if
they are a "plainer" or a
"meat-baller."
- The sisters in Griddle Cakes may
debate everything under the sun, but the people who saw the
performance in North Carolina all agree the show was a
hit.
- A
Wicked Little Wager was
wickedly funny - and suspenseful! - in North Carolina.

to "Who's Who in Senior Theatre," John Propster. He is
the founder of Improv4Life, a workshop for older
actors in Arizona. Click here to

We love improv! We asked John to share his guiding principles for
leaders and participants of improv. Here's what he says:
John
Propster's Guiding Principles for Improv
- “Yes
and…”
- Accept what has gone before and build on
it.
- No Mistakes
- Anything goes in the world of improv.
There are no mistakes, only opportunities!
- Make your partner look good.
- Improv is not a competition, it’s a
collaboration. If your partner looks stuck or flailing,
throw them a lifeline to keep the scene moving.
- Be Happy, Healthy and Hopeful.
- Leave the troubles of the outside world
behind! Focus on the positive and having a good time.
- Take care of yourself.
- Participation is voluntary for any game or
exercise. Don’t do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing
physically or emotionally.
