Paper Walls - Nancy Lambert
Have you ever wondered what the people on the other side of your wall are talking about? Two couples separated by a paper-thin wall, Max and Billie have been friends forever but is there more to their feelings? Jo and Sammy are engaged but their bliss stands on shaky ground. The same night, the same time, two different stories: a few misunderstandings, some tarot cards, a paper-thin wall, and 20 minutes. The same 20 minutes. A heart-warming peek into the lives of young people grappling with the highs and lows of day-to-day romance.

Park Bench - Sam Momber
What if, for 40 minutes, we stop focusing on the humans that go places, and bring our attention to the place itself? The location, a bench, inside a park, inside a borough, inside a city. If abstract storytelling focused around an inanimate object is up your street, then take a seat. It's difficult to say how many people have sat on this park bench in its lifetime and there are no restrictions to those who do, so wouldn't you like to know what people talk about when they think no one is listening?

All The Glorious Moments Inbetween- Hollie-Jasmine Wills
An explosion of nostalgia, joy and love releases itself on the stage, in the form of a poetic love letter. A whirlwind of gratitude as three individuals unravel their most heartwarming, stomach-tingling, glorious and positive moments in life as they battle the gloominess of the average day-to-day. Have you ever felt so happy your heart could burst? Three different stories. They watch the stars that follow them through the night, and embrace the change of new seasons. That glorious moment when… we don’t know what will happen next.

Dead End Job - Tabitha Morgan
Ever wondered what would happen when Girl meets Ghoul? Aubury has the worst job in the underworld - training ghosts. Day after day, decade after decade, they teach lost souls how to finish their "unfinished business". Purgatory seemed to stretch out forever - until Aubury meets the love of their afterlife - a medium tasked to exorcize them! A 17th-century aristocrat, a medium who can do it all, and a businessman we'd rather avoid, Dead End Job is the farcical romantic comedy which transcends life... and death! The biscuits weren't the only thing without an expiration date...

Jeff and Annette and the Revenge of the Book of the Human Condition - Jack Favero
It’s hard putting on a play, especially when your writer is non-existant, your main star is a diva and there’s a love triangle brewing. It especially doesn’t help when you won’t listen to anyone…
