One Night Stand Theater is looking for plays, stories and poems about family pets and the humans who love them for our August 10 production, a one-night-only evening of staged readings called “Dogs and Cats Living Together.” The pieces can be comedies, dramas or fantasies about pets (not just dogs or cats).
The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, June 24; limit 3 plays or stories per writer; send them to Tickets@OneNightStandTheater.org. If we feature your play, story or poem in the show, we offer a small honorarium and two comp tickets for the performance (at Vintage Theatre in Aurora, Colorado). Plays can be new or old; there are no restrictions on whether the pieces have been previously produced.
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR'S NOTES - James O'Leary

We’re happy to announce the lineup for One Night Stand with Wayne Faust on June 22, featuring the work of this One Night Stand Theater favorite. Wayne has adapted two of his short stories into plays, and we are also featuring three of his stories, two of which are favorites from One Night Stand’s past:
-
Truth is stranger than tabloid fiction in “Emil and the Aliens.”
-
An extraordinary mother-and-son reunion takes place “On a Quiet Street Where Old Ghosts Meet.”
-
A man with a dark secret drives through a dangerous Nebraska on his way to the “Promised Land.”
-
A despondent immortal faces a new millennium in “Nothing Lasts Forever.”
-
A father and son return home after a long and perilous ocean voyage in “Sailing Away.”
We are gathering our ensemble of actors and directors to bring these tales to life. We hope to see you on June 22 to share this evening of science fiction, light horror, fantasy, humor and emotion.
