In Real Time is a set of six one-act plays that come from a series of eighteen plays written throughout 2012. A mixture of funny moments and more serious considerations, each short play is inspired by a song, a news article, or a writing prompt. Three sisters argue around a box of memories, friends make important discoveries in casual circumstances, a married couple sees each other again after a long time, and even Marilyn Monroe makes an unlikely appearance.
Three of the plays were developed in a Writers Roundtable sponsored by NYU’s Program in Educational Theatre during the 2012-13 academic year, and then additional development occurred throughout January and February 2015 when the plays were directed and performed by undergraduate and graduate students as part of the program’s main stage season at the Provincetown Playhouse.
“I wanted to write and thank you specifically, though, for the last piece, ‘Bromancing the OK.’ It was an incredible bit of truth, written so fearlessly and carefully. . . . I think I held my breath the whole time!”
