Sitting and Talking

PLAY written for performance on ZOOM
Thursday, November
12, @7:30pm
Sitting and Talking reflects on our human need
to connect, no matter what the circumstances. Charles and Enid are in their
sixties, and have never tried online dating before, especially not over video
chat. But now that they're confined to their homes, there's a first time for
everything. A love story for this moment.
Lia Romeo’s plays have been produced at the O’Neill Playwrights’
Conference, 59E59, Unicorn Theatre, HotCity Theatre, Renegade Theatre
Experiment, Dreamcatcher Rep and others. Her work has been developed at the
O’Neill Playwrights’ Conference, the Lark, San Francisco Playhouse, Florida
Studio Theatre, Orlando Shakespeare Theatre, and elsewhere. She received a 2018
Individual Artist Fellowship in playwriting from the New Jersey State Council
for the Arts, and was the National New Play Network Emerging
Playwright-in-Residence at Writers Theatre of New Jersey. Her plays are
published by Broadway Play Publishing, Playscripts, Dramatists Play Service,
and Smith & Kraus. She earned her B.A. from Princeton University and her
M.F.A. in playwriting from Rutgers/MGSA, and she teaches in the MA program in
creative writing at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
AND... you can still listen to Ways To Be
Happy!

Ways To Be Happy
by David Lee White
AUDIO PLAY | WORLD PREMIERE
Originally scheduled for production in the
spring of 2020, Ways to be Happy has come to life as an audio
play. This comedy about chasing our inalienable right covers multiple locations
using listeners’ imaginations and the lively sound design of Jeff Knapp.
Darting from a convenience store to a cabin in the woods to a theme park,
Maddie and the unusual people she meets are searching for happiness. Does it
exist? Or is the world fundamentally rigged? The recording is available now.

"Just listened to Ways to be Happy, and
