Stage plays

I have started publishing collections of my short plays as eBooks. The first out of the gate is Serio-Comic:

The eBook contains these short plays:

• Customer Service
• Consequences
• Lineup
• DDD
• One Minute Warning

Serio-Comic is available through the Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords online stores.

I am adding links to one-page excerpts from many of my plays, so you can see how the play starts. If you want to see what happens next, email me at andrew AT cottage14 DOT com and I will send the script that caught your interest.

• The plays with red titles make up a full-length evening of theater called The Red Shift. First performed at the Changing Scene Theater in Bremerton, WA.
• The plays with green titles make up a full-length evening of theater called Shakescenes. Parts first performed by Hampshire Shakespeare Company in Amherst, MA.
• The plays with orange titles are part of Fast of Fools, a cycle of 18 plays for faith communities for use during Lent.
