Feet Goldfish Thinking Oogatz Man, The Something Past In Front Of the Light Theater Alliance Bake-offFeet
Synopsis:
anyone that might have dropped off a little before this was definitely awakened by this jarring short play. It starts with a bit of scenic destruction to heavy rock music as three actors portraying ragtag boys fill the stage with props and chaos. Peter (Alex C. Vaughan), Thomas (Josh Sticklin) and Michael (Matthew Friedman) are survivors of a bombed neighborhood. the guys do a reasonably good job portraying Peter Pan-type Lost Boys in a Mad Max world. the play is confusing and rambling and has an especially abrupt ending.

Synopsis:
a writer who finds it easier to connect emotionally to music than people creates a play list to fortify himself while he breaks up with his girlfriend on their six-month anniversary. But his CDs are all strangely disrupted, his neighbors disruptively strange, and his front door is no longer where he left it last

Synopsis:
What would you do if the Devil wanted to collaborate with you on a documentary film about himself? Would you fear for your soul or just your artistic integrity? Would you be more concerned that the Devil might do an Alan Smithee or that he might prematurely damn the film's narrator? and would you have the nerve to ask him why he always has the munchies and what in Hell it is he's eating? a comic and horrifying matchup between a Humanist and the Beast.

Top of PageTheater Alliance Bake-off
Synopsis:
Bake-off playwrights are given a list of "ingredients"--people, places, things, ideas, etc.--that they must incorporate into their piece. These ingredients are sometimes given weeks in advance to allow the writers to outline and brainstorm, though sometimes playwrights only know their ingredients at the beginning of the 48-hour writing period. With such a short timetable to create their pieces, bake-off writers are encouraged to allow their instincts guide them through and are forced to ignore the nagging urge to rewrite as they go. After two days, the playwrights print out what they've got, in whatever form they've got, and the pieces are read.
Notes:
written by Kathleen Akerley, Bob Bartlett, Tearrance Chisholm, and Katherine Clair. Page-to-Stage Festival 2014. The three-day, Center-wide Page-to- Stage event offers a series of free readings and open rehearsals of plays and musicals being developed by local, regional, and national playwrights, librettists, and composers.
