Coming September 19—20
The Outsider
by Paul Slade Smith
The Sunday, September 20 performance is sold out. Saturday tickets are still available.
“Tell me a story. Please…tell me a story.”
That’s a request we’ve all made since we learned to talk — and listen. And we still love a story — TV, movies, books, theatre – all stories to entertain, enrich, inspire, amuse.
At The Storefront Theatre, we tell stories through the faces and voices of actors but your imagination supplies the rest – set, props, costumes, everything.
We are reader’s theatre.
The Outsider by Paul Slade Smith
Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Audrey Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for the worst candidate to ever run for office.... A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.

Broomstick by John Biguenet
“An arresting blend of evocative humor and eerie gravitas permeates ‘Broomstick,’ New Orleans playwright John Biguenet's ripely poetic tale of an Appalachian crone who may or may not be a witch. . . the merger of pathos, insight and horror is hair-raising. . . . Biguenet's text [has] an undulating rhythm that ebbs and flows like a rain-swelled river—[but] there's always another hairpin turn to Biguenet's narrative. Tightly woven, richly detailed and fully enjoyable.” –Los Angeles Times (An LA Times Critics’ Pick)

A Festival of 10-Minute Plays
It’s back! Our 13th annual 10-minute play festival with new plays, new playwrights, and the fun of competition. This season, all the playwrights come from the outheast. We’ll see if that makes
a difference. It’s a fast-paced event with comedies and dramas, romances and mysteries. You’ll be laughing and crying – maybe at the same time. Once again, we say: Love it or hate it –
it won’t last long.

The Savannah Sipping Society by Jones Hope Wooten
In this delightful, laugh-a-minute comedy, four unique Southern women, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines, are drawn together by fate – and an impromptu happy hour – and decide it’s high time to reclaim their former enthusiasm for life. Over the course of six months – filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures, and the occasional liquid refreshment – these middle-aged women successfully bond and find the confidence to jump start their new lives.
