COMPANION PLAYS
As ideal as it may be to share the stage with any number of acclaimed plays or musicals of the 21st Century, Tony, Olivier or even Pulitzer prize winners (and yes, I can provide you an impressive list of under ninety minute pieces that fit the bill); you may need to look no further than this same website. I have several under ninety minute pieces that require a set in order to be properly performed. But don’t let that deter you. Plays have been requiring sets for longer than either of us have been alive. The pieces I offer here are all set shows under seventy five minutes in length:
