    | STALLED: On
    the morning of the 2018 Kentucky Derby, eighteen-year-old Shane Brady
    thinks he’s got life all figured out—working as a parking attendant at the
    Jersey shore, he’s got friends, the girl of his dreams, and an uncanny
    ability to bet on horses. But as the play, just like Shane, gets caught
    somewhere in between a peaceful present and a painful past, this gifted
    gambler must gamble once again, except now on himself and his own future.
 Kyle Mazer is
    from Millburn, New Jersey and is a rising senior at Yale University, where
    he studies English. Stalled is Kyle’s first play, based off a lifetime
    love for horseracing inspired by his father, and many summer days spent
    down at the Jersey Shore.  Kyle has written two comedy musicals, he
    frequently performs stand-up in New Jersey and Connecticut, directs a
    sketch group called “The Good Show.” He wants to thank The Theater Project
    for their generosity and creativity in making this project happen!
