The cast and crew of HEARTBROKE: A festival of short plays for the broken.

PROGRAM A

STANDING UP, by Jasmine Spiess. Dir. Mandy Murphy   


A Tinder date no-show in an empty restaurant may lead to an unexpected alliance.   


HEARD, by Arielle Beth Klein. Dir. John Pena Griswold


When two women confront the ambiguous intimacy they once shared, what was left unsaid might finally be said.   


FOR MR. CUDDLES, Erin Moughon. Dir. Todd Butera  


Mr. Cuddles has died. Is this a funeral to express Molly’s love for her cat, or an accusation of murder?  


SENSE, by Serena Berman. Dir. Bryn Herdrich   


Nothing says “I love you” like a romantic dinner blindfolded. Four senses. One culinary adventure.   


BIBBIDI-BOBBIDI BOOS, by Allison Fradkin. Dir. Mia Y. Anderson   


Hitherto, the Wicked Stepmother has been perceived as a menace to high society. Is she really a mainstream menace or, as the Fairy Godmother suspects, a lavender menace?   


Featuring Carla Briscoe, Perryn Pomatto, Rook Mogavero, Jennifer Downes, Mandy Murphy, Monica Rey, Ruthie Rado, Saadiq Vaughn, Starr Kirkland, Elizabeth Jasicki, Marie-Eléna O’Brien.

PROGRAM B

ONE NIGHT ONLY, written and directed by John Peña Griswold  


A man surprises his love with an out-of-the-ordinary date night. But will the spotlight on their relationship shine too brightly?   


INTERROGATION OF LOVE, by Ben Dworken. Dir. David Adam Gill   


Three crime-fighting cherubs visit Matt on the eve before a first date. Should he stay or should he go? A young man with autism faces his fears head on.   


RANCH COUNTRY, by Lloyd Pace. Dir. Perryn Pomatto   


A rancher confronts his wife after seeing her come out of a motel room. After 50 years, can they make it to one more Valentine’s day?   


MY BELOVED, MY AXIOM, by Aly Kantor. Dir. Sydney Burtner  


A hopeless romantic is ready to give up on finding “the one,” but fate – and at least one foreign government – has other ideas.   


MORE MYSELF THAN I AM, written and directed by David Adam Gill 


Ill-fated lovers Heathcliff and Catherine are finally reunited in the afterlife; but sometimes heaven isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.   


Featuring David Michael Kirby, Evan Edwards, Joseph Antonetti, Cat Plazas, Matthew Menendez, Jennifer Elizabeth Bradley, Mark Hofmaier, Maile Binion, John Peña Griswold, Chase Naylor, Priyanka Krishnan

HEARTbroke 2022 was a part of SubletSeries@HERE: a curated rental program, which provides artists with subsidized space and equipment, as well as a technical liaison.
