Flirting, a pharmacy, a hair salon, an emergency room, and writer’s block: it's all 4Play Four new comedic LGBTQ+ short plays and a monologue from five female writers.
“Amsterdam” by Colette Cullen: A married lesbian recounts the joy of her unexpected "coming out moment" as a teenager on a summer trip to Amsterdam.
“Hurry Up and Wail” by Anna Ralls: During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, two impatient non-binary friends banter as they wait for a testosterone prescription at the drive-through pharmacy.
“The Weird Ellen Prom Queen Trendsetters” by Elizabeth Shannon: On the afternoon of their Senior Prom, Wendy and Francesca's trip to the hairdresser spurs a conversation about the difficulties of coming out.
“Bluetooth” by Liz Dooley: Finn gets a phone call from his ex-husband, who’s on his way to the hospital with their daughter.
“Just for Context” by Bethany Dickens Assaf: Elena is struggling to write a new play, but advice from long-dead writers, belligerent readers, and competing expectations from herself and her parents (i.e.: context) are stifling her creativity. When her best efforts fail, she is forced to confront why she became a writer in the first place.
