Storyteller House presents "The House of Plays," a growing collection of one-room plays, each representing a different room.
The Bathroom
It's Saturday night at the DeLongpre, a lively restaurant and bar, and the two-stalled bathroom provides the setting for the lives of the restaurant staff and the bar patrons to cross. Unrequiteed loves, former flames, unfaithful partners...isn't it interesting what happens in the privacy of the bathroom?
Comedy
6W / 7M
Premiere: July 21, 2023
The Lounge
When former college roommates reconnect at an airport lounge during a flight-grounding blizzard, they revisit old times and the people they used to be. When the flights are delayed all night, the steady flow of the cozy bar’s refreshments provides the encouragement needed to reveal darker and darker secrets about the two decades since they last saw each other, a night when one made a phone call that changed both of their lives forever.
Dark Comedy
2W / 1M
Original Production: November 16, 2023
The Kitchen
The Martin family navigates the complexities of their relationships amidst the backdrop of their patriarch Barney's declining health. A series of urgent late-night phone calls continues to summon the children and grandchildren back to their family home in Rose Hill, Mississippi. As the siblings reunite, the family's kitchen becomes a battleground for old grudges, a digging site for closet skeletons, and a safe place for sharing long-buried secrets. It's family, sickness, and death, and somehow, thankfully, that also means it's comedy.
Dramedy
6W / 3M
Premiere: September 28, 2024
These plays have many two- and three-person scenes, making them wonderful for productions as well as appropriate for scenework or competition.
