Art: Official Intelligence

Synopsis:
Two robots are sabotaged in a young entrepreneur's workshop in this Steampunk style universe. Part 2 of "The Legend of Steel City: A Collection of Steampunk Inspired One-Acts."

Notes:
First up is Daniel Guyton's splendidly costumed ART: OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. This is a strange play, in which Bob Smith plays the hard taskmaster of two art-creating robots, played by Jeremy Clark and Cat Roche. The plot, such as it is, has taskmaster McGleetch slowly finding out that a mysterious female rival has tampered with the robots. It's neatly constructed and well acted, and James Beck's direction gets the utmost out of the script, which hints at a world we don't fully comprehend. (Playgoer, theaterreview.com, 2014)

Bedford's Sty

Synopsis:
A grown man named Bedford refuses to clean up his bedroom - even when a ghost tells him he has to! "By far the most entertaining night of theater I have seen. . . BEDFORD's STY. . . brought the classic Vincent Price films to mind. . . It explores the hell we create for ourselves. This play has taken elements of comedy and thrown in moments of psychological thrills and created a piece that culminates. . . the entire Inhuman Festival occurring at the Alley Theater."

Synopsis:
BENEATH THE MONOLITH' is a one-act set in Victorian Era USA, with a distinctive steampunk style. The play follows the interactions of two artists who are old friends - one who is poor and struggling against the oppressive industrialization of the Steampunk culture, the other who has embraced it and become very successful.

Boy Who Cried Werewolf, The

Synopsis:

Notes:
I really enjoyed THE BOY WHO CRIED WEREWOLF. Mrs. Henderson, in particular, but all the adults really, reflect the view children often have of adults as arbitrary and nonsensical, but still powerful. I think this should be great fun in production! (Paul Donnelly, Working Title Playwrights, 2015)

Synopsis:
A snowman and a little girl discuss the afterlife in this existential Yuletide comedy.

(Elizabeth Musgrave, GottaGo.us, 2009)

Notes:
By Hope Bough - "Indy theatre Habit", 2009 "Nor is ["a Very Phoenix Xmas 4"] All fluff.

By Lou Harry - "Indianapolis Business Journal", 2009 "Best of the bunch is Daniel Guyton's "Death of A Snowman," in which Actor Michael Shelton gives the best performance I've seen from him (and I've seen some fine ones) As A snowman discussing life And death with A young girl (amanda Lynn Meyer)." By Elizabeth Musgrave - "Gotta Go!" Newsletter, 2009 "[Michael] Shelton And Amanda Lynn Meyer team up nicely in "Death of A Snowman," A poignant moment between A girl who has lost her mother And her snowman, who explains the circle of life in the coolest way possible."

I'm Not Gay!

Synopsis:
Gary is a homophobe. The play explores his prejudices in one of the funniest, most shocking tragedies of all time. Loved and hated by critics across the globe, this play nearly caused someone to choke to death on opening night in Iceland. Some say it was from laughter. Others say it was the bile in the back of her throat. Regardless, you'll never forget the experience as Gary tries to prove how "not gay" he truly is. Mature audiences only. A brilliant play about all the hypocrisy about homosexualism (sic) and people either loved it or hated it. . . just as it should be. (Gudmundur Ingi Thorvaldsson, Loftkastalinn, 2005). Artistically flawed. . . morally repugnant. . . I'M NOT GAY! [belongs in] a category of its own - the theatre of the obnoxious. (Grant Tyler Peterson, offoffonline.com, 2005)

Notes:

In the Shadow Of A War

Synopsis:
A nod to Samuel Beckett, and a satire of war. Two roommates await the cannon fire of an impending army.

Notes:
IN THE SHADOW OF A WAR, by Daniel Guyton, is a cut above. It's highly reminiscent of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot," but seems to take place in some sort of dungeon in which two prisoners cower and read from a blank book, awaiting a coming war. The dialogue is opaque and repetitious, but very nicely delivered by Jerry Jobe and Bob Winstead. Julie Taliaferro's direction prevents the action from becoming static. It provokes thought, [and] it's the sort of piece that needs to be done to perfection to work on all levels." (Playgoer, TheaterReview.com, 2013)

Mother Of God Visits Hell, The

Synopsis:
Based on a poem described in "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky; and written in rhyming Iambic pentameter. The Virgin Mary travels to hell to comfort the souls in torment. While there, she condemns her own soul to save those of all mankind - much to God's dismay. What erupts is a war between Heaven and Hell, with all of our souls in the balance. "THE MOTHER OF GOD VISITS HELL has my strongest recommendation. It holds out the hope that American playwrights will move above realism. What's more, Mr. Guyton's talents as a poet and a dramatist are stellar, and the script is a model for other dramatists." (Steve Capra, The Living Theatre in NYC, 2009)

Notes:
Play is written in rhyming Iambic Pentameter. Publication still underway As of this posting.
