Mini Shenanigans - Episode 10 - "Parasomnia" by Ron Davies
Welcome once again to Mini Shenanigans where we have another short play for you. This time the piece comes from British/Canadian emerging playwright, Ron Davies. The piece is entitled "Parasomnia" and when talking about his inspiration for the piece Ron says:
"Real men don't talk about personal matters (at least not easily) and especially not about romantic relationships. But sometimes when someone is on the cusp of a big decision, even a tough guy feels the need to reach out for a friend's honest opinion. I wanted to explore, with empathy and humour, a moment when, over a pint, ordinary men sit down and talk"

Greetings once again and welcome to another Mini Shenanigan. This week we have a piece by Chicago based writer, actor and singer Kat Evans entitled "Numbers Game".

S03 E07 - Episode 7 - "Sky Horses" & Cindi Sansone-Braff
Hello there and welcome to Episode 7 of Theatrical Shenanigans. This week we have a piece from UK based playwright Trish Bertram, who had always wanted to try and write plays and screenplays and is finally able to make the time for it. She's had works done as staged readings and monologues performed and filmed previously.
Trish's piece is entitled "Sky Horses" and initially came out of a class exercise to write 10 minute plays. The idea being to learn about structure - as the same principles apply to short and longer work. “What do the characters want, what’s stopping them getting it, what happens?”
