Broomstick
by John Biguenet
“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.
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)

The Aurelia Ladies at Home and Abroad: A Double Feature by Judy Simpson Cook
In After A Fashion we take a peek at the women in the backstage dressing room at a civic fashion show where faces, figures, fashion and food are the main topics of conversation. These ladies are raucous, risque, and hilarious. But they always, always have each other’s backs.
La Leçon de Francais takes the Aurelia ladies to Paris where they cook macarons, drink Chateauneuf-de-Pape, tour the Louvre, and learn a little bit about French as well as a lot about friendship.

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.
