Two One-Act Plays in One Evening! 

Who Gets Grandma’s Eyeball: A One-Act Play by Paul Bergman

Synopsis:

Fun and the unexpected connect with a lucky, lurking eyeball and Grandma’s estate riddle in this one-act play. After the colorful Grandma Maissey dies, how will the rest figure out the mystery? And where does the funky eyeball land? The challenges and disputes are met with ‘a wink and a prayer’ ...and, always, a heartfelt sense of care.

Playwright Bio:

A retired professional, Paul enjoys writing stories — both meaningful and fun filled. This play represents the first time he has engaged with his son, Alan, and wife, Barb, in creating a script.  They were able to help him find some clever, off-kilter instances with the characters in this heartwarming show. He dedicates this show to the ‘Bergman Team” and writers everywhere.

Waiting Room Commerce: A One-Act Play by Jon Singer

Synopsis:
