For the 14th time, the Pear lovingly offers up eight new slices of theatre in the form of short, one-act plays (in reality more akin to a series of single scenes) that provide a full evening (or afternoon) of entertainment. What started as an experiment has become an annual event showcasing somewhere between six and nine new works, written by members of the Pear Playwrights Guild, and performed by a select troupe of actors assuming multiple roles throughout the presentation. This year’s Slices includes:
- For Art’s Sake by Elyce Melmon
- Stella Wind by Bridgette Dutta Portman
- Mirror to Face by Leah Halper
- Anasazi Breakdown by Douglas Rees
- Deuce Cooper: The Bloomfield Case by Paul Braverman
- Aboriginal by Susan Jackson
- Meantime in Between Time by Leah Halper
- Proposal by Max Gutmann
