Only two more chances to catch Taking it to the Streets and Street Scenes! You don’t want to miss these 6 short plays that audiences have been dying of laughter over! Performances featured tonight include Soda Noir by Jason McIntyre and Portrait of a Woman by Muriel Falkenstein.

Soda Noir, Written by Jason McIntyre and Directed by Rhett Ellis

Jean and Lucy, former detective partners, meet in a diner to discuss the betrayal that ended their friendship. Amidst a forbidden romance, a heist gone wrong, and accents that don’t quite make sense… you might lose track of who’s backstabbing who.

Portrait of a Woman, Written by Muriel Falkenstein and Directed by Kaylee MacNeil

At a support group for women who have been the subject of art history’s most famous paintings, Judith (from Judith Beheading Holofernes), Venus (from The Birth of Venus), the Girl with a Pearl Earring, and Mona Lisa come together to smash their painters, the patriarchy, and a particularly disgusting loaf of Mona Lisa’s famous zucchini bread.
