In August of 2005, we put together a collection of short pieces, some original, some not often presented. A theme developed as we read through and finalized our script selection - "Am I crazy here, or what?"  We titled the show accordingly. Click on it for more.

    'ART'
     by    
        
     Yasmina Reza

In April 2006, we presented 'ART ' by Yasmina Reza, in cooperation with Dramatists Play Service. For more about the play, and pictures click the title at left.

Next?  Well, it was September 2006 and the First Annual International Short Play Festival, that's what!  A collection of short plays 10 to 30 minutes in length from writers all around the country and as far away as Australia.  Many of these plays have been produced in other states, and they make their Nutmeg State debut with the Intentional Theatre Short Play Festival. Others received their World Premiere on our stage.  Click the picture at left for a view.

"State of the Art"
by Craig Abernethy

We opened our 2007 season in May with a pair of One-Acts, one by Pulitzer Prize winning writer David Mamet, and one by some guy named Greg, or Chad, or something.  Nooo, we kid the unknown writer from San Diego, with his humorous look into what Pirandello might have called an average day.  It all makes for an enlightening and entertaining........... thing.  A show, if you will.  Click the titles at left for info and pictures.

The
2007 All-Media
Invitational

October 2007.  After auditions for our previous show, we were struck by how many of those who joined in the madness with us were artistic in many other ways. Singers, painters, poets and more - we thought we should honor their talents with an "all-media" show, and let them "show" off.  Also, it was a heck of a lot less we had to do.  No auditions, no rehearsals, no set (almost), no lights (almost), no props (you know).  Still, four great shows, great talent, great fun. Thanks all. For details, click on the title at left.
"Hard Luck Sings 
The Blues
"

by Jay Huling
Ever wonder "Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose in life?" Well, maybe you were miscast.  "Hard Luck Sings The Blues" attempts to answer these questions and more, like "What's the worst that could happen?" (Don't answer that.) Click the title at left for photos.
"The
Replacement"
by Jacob M. Appel
If you had it to do over again, do you think someone else might be able to do it better than you did?  Sometimes, you never know until it's too late.  So, we invited you to join us in the relative safety of the darkened seats in the audience as we asked the question, "Should you be replaced?" By now you should know where to click, right???

Mayfly Playhouse 24

In 24 hours, Special Agent Jack Bauer (ABC series "24”) saves the world from total annihilation.  At the Mayfly Playhouse 24, our mission was slightly less ambitious, though no less dangerous.  Endurance was tested, sanity tried, wills nearly broken, all in the name of Art. And in the end, the world was changed just a little, if not perhaps a little bit safer for all. Yep, click over there, to the left.
