Cherry Poppin' Plays: 2009

The one-act plays in this collection were first performed as part of Alive Theatre's second annual Cherry Poppin' Play Festival. In the space of a single year, the festival that was originally conceived as a chance for emerging local playwrights to get their 'pens' wet is now attracting submissions from all over the United States. The six plays within this collection are as diverse as they are wild, ranging from a modern Mystery Play written completely in verse to a rock and roll quest through the desert to find the world's tallest volcano. Whatever you're looking for in a new play, you'll probably find it here. But please don't ask about the bear.
