An Evening of Two Short Plays
COMMON GROUND, by Roger Henry
Two polar opposite southern men hold a racially-ignited dispute on the barren pedestal of a Confederate Civil War memorial statue that has mysteriously gone missing. As their heated debate carries on into the night, will they be able to find any common ground besides the space-restrictive pedestal that they have chosen to maroon themselves upon?
ARTIFICIAL SUNSET, by Max Kennel
While Friday celebrates her 21st birthday in a casino, she shares a heartfelt dance with the ethereal casino worker, Chip, which leads to a macabre entanglement. (Content warning: Domestic abuse, addiction and mention of drug use.)
