Highway 47.

Posted on by wotif

Highway 47: Cassie, a young advertising account executive, learns that she can talk to the dead on her daily Highway 47 commute to the office. Meghann is a 16-year-old dead girl who loves to talk with Cassie about clothes and boys — even Cassie’s inappropriate boss, Ralph. Melvin T. Gotlink, a gentleman farmer who was killed on his tractor, provides the kind of homespun wisdom only someone dead can provide. When Casse’s world is shaken, Melvin gives her insight and loyalty.

Written by: Kathy Brady,

Produced by Breanda Cross

Cast: Jule Hoverson as Meghan, Breanda as Cassie and Toby Chittenden as Melvin

The Bard’s Night Out

Posted on by wotif

The Bard’s Night Out

It’s a dark and stormy night. Anything can happen. And it did!

While this delightful play by Patti Cassidy profiles a fastfiction regular, by way of David Pollard, we are delighted to add two new players to our troupe. Hem Cleveland lives in Iceland, while Geordie Macdonald* may be found in the Tropics of Queensland. Yet both come together to spar banter in The Bard’s Night Out.

And who is The Bard? Well, it’s Will himself, although you will never think of him in quite the same way again once you hear Geordie’s performance.

Duration: 19m.

Written by: Patti Cassidy

Performers: David Pollard, Hem Cleveland, Breanda Cross, John Cross, Geordie Macdonald

Produced: Breanda Cross
