Plays For Today: A Theatrical Experience was a virtual event hosted by One Egg No Batter.
Five teams, composed of a playwright, director, 2-3 actors, and a stage managers each conceived and produced a short new-work in 24-hours. I participated in the event as a stage manager and work on two seperate teams: 2021 - A Sea Odyssey & A Dish Best Served Cold.
As a stage manger of these works I wore several hats. At times taking on 'non-traditional' responsibilities such as locating sounds, video editing, and graphic creation in addition to standard more standard duties. These include, but aren't limited to, time keeping, note taking, data tracking, calling cues, and facilitating communication.
2021 - A Sea Odyssey - 00:1:05
Chef Luke is seeking revenge against the social media stars that left him bad
reviews. His top target is foodie diva influencer, Gourmet Zoay. And what
better way to get back at her than on her own turf?
A Dish Best Served Cold - 00:29:09
Captain Dave Roman of the Research Submarine (R/S) Discovery wakes up
and suddenly realizes that Valentine’s Day has arrived, and once again he has
forgotten to do something nice for his S.O., the boat’s chief engineer,
Commander Jennifer Boyles. In an a desperate attempt to make things right,
he tells the ship’s Virtual Automated Liaison, VAL, to make plans for him and
Jenny. When she starts a video chat with him in the middle of this, he gets
flustered, and tells VAL to just go ahead with the plans without looking them
over first. Big mistake. Big, big mistake.
