Two on the Aisle, Three in a Van
Welcome to another stellar season at the Neighborhood Actors Summerfun Repertory Theatre. a friendly little playhouse where, due to a lack of wing space, the company spends their downtime in the parking lot around an aging hippie/now turned techie's van. Those looking for refuge at the asphalt oasis include: a stressed-out artistic director grappling for funding, a wanna-be diva who's realizing her ingenue expiration date has just about passed, a board member's nephew vying to direct the musicals with a Tarrentino spin and the "I'm no chorus boy" chorus boy who thinks every show should have a kick line - including Glass Menagerie. These are just some of the egos and obstacles that fall into the lap of Mike, a nice-guy director who ends up with far more than he bargained for. Anyone who's ever seen a show may know these people. Anyone who's ever done a show may be these people.

Skin Deep
Just because it's glitters, doesn't mean it's pretty. Told in mockumentary style through the eyes of six pageant-obsessed women, Skin Deep is a scathing comedy about the world of child beauty pageants. This 30 minute comedy was one of over 850 submissions entered in the Samuel French OOB Short Play Festival. Forty plays were chosen and performed Off Broadway over a period of one week. Out of these plays, six winners were chosen by Samuel French to receive publication and licensing contracts. Skin Deep was one of these winners and is published in the OOB Festival 35th Edition.
