Chatham Players have been bringing to our audiences original works by New Jersey connected authors for over 31 years.
Presented One-Act Plays are:
- “A Real Turkey” by David Weil Baker, Directed by Emily Miller: What happens at the Seacrest Diner stays at the Seacrest, or does it? When a couple stops in on Thanksgiving, they might just uncover one of the Mob’s greatest mysteries or become their latest victims. Gobble Gobble!!
- “Asteroid Belt” by Clinton Festa, Directed by Hunter Wolf: An astronaut is sent to plant a nuclear bomb on a small asteroid which poses an undetermined threat to Earth. His lander is disabled, he discovers life on the asteroid, and he learns that it may be more difficult to save his planet than he realized. But it’s worth a try.
- “Unlove Me” by Charles Grayson, Directed by Maggie Aube: Love is the most sought-after feeling in the world, and falling in love is easy! The real challenge is trying to unlove someone you never should’ve loved in the first place, preferably with the help of a very confused relationship therapist.
- “Keep the Music Going” by Steven Hayet, Directed by Kayla Fiore: After a mysterious disaster wipes out most of humanity, a stranded astronaut aboard the International Space Station forms an unexpected lifeline with one of the last survivors on Earth through a crackling radio connection. As their bond deepens across impossible distances, they must confront love, isolation, and the painful reality that survival may mean choosing connection or letting it go.
- “Rest in Peace” by Jeanne Johnston, Directed by Missy Renwick: An open and honest conversation between two people who fiercely love each other but have different world views. Rest in Peace explores the vulnerability of the living through comedy and coffee.
- “Immaculate Contraption” by Matt McHugh, Directed by Wendy Stuart: A woman walks into a church and asks the priest to baptize her robot. Arguments and debates ensue as all concerned grapple with this demand.
- “The Stakeout” by Missy Renwick, Directed by John AC Kennedy: Newly-teamed detectives on a late-night stakeout attempt to navigate “Intergenerational Communication and Collaboration Workplace Dynamics” – but then the mysterious stakeout begins to spiral.
