Greetings once again and welcome to another Mini Shenanigan. This week we have a piece by Chicago based writer, actor and singer Kat Evans entitled "Numbers Game". Kat says about the piece "Like many audio comedies, this one was triggered by a single joke idea, while contemplating a contemporary dilemma-- technology and the difficulties of finding true connection." As A lover of sci-fi, Kat decided the best way to bring it all together was to make this play about an intergalactic dating app.

So far in our story we know that private investigator Detective J.M. Barry is investigating a threat recieved by Wendy Darling, who he hasn't seen in years, as well as some mysterious pink powder, which he's discovered to be the cause of the death of nightclub owner Mr Sammy Smee.

Hello there and welcome to Episode 7 of Theatrical Shenanigans. This week we have a piece from UK based playwright Trish Bertram, who had always wanted to try and write plays and screenplays and is finally able to make the time for it. She's had works done as staged readings and monologues performed and filmed previously.
Trish's piece is entitled "Sky Horses" and initially came out of a class exercise to write 10 minute plays. The idea being to learn about structure - as the same principles apply to short and longer work. “What do the characters want, what’s stopping them getting it, what happens?”
