🎭"It Wasn't the Words That Hurt... It Was the Silence"
🎭 The moment everything shatters in a 1950s dream kitchen. 💔
Alice (Kasia Marciniak) forces Joan (Lainey Helmers) to admit the affair: "Well, if I said Danny the dream boat, you would have known right away... It wasn't the words that I heard. It was just the fact that you couldn't tell me."
From the one-act play The Golden Age — raw heartbreak, betrayal, and friendship tested in silence. Performed live at Producers Club NYC.
🎭"Fresh Souls Have No Authority Here."
🎭 Hell's corporate hierarchy just got savage. 🔥 Lucinda (Lainey Helmers) puts a fresh Wall Street soul (Ava Grace) in her place with ice-cold demonic authority.
From the one-act dark comedy Into the Void by Kevin Barry – performed live at Producers Club NYC.
"That chain of command even your brother has not been focusing on since the beginning of time…" Fresh souls have no authority here. You no longer exist on hard ground with walls and personalities.
🎭 From Secretary to Forest Ranger? A Hilarious Career Pivot
🎭 Hello, theater friends
Today I'm excited to share a fun clip from the short play Now What — the moment where roommates Linda and Claire starring Starring Elizabeth O’Malley as Claire
and Ava Sforza Grace as Linda fantasize about ditching their NYC insurance jobs for a life as forest rangers in Montana.
Who knew those old Girl Scout badges could suddenly feel so relevant? 😂

❄️ Out in the Cold Reading
Scene One — Hit the Streets
🎭 Directed by Isabella Minter
Starring Elizabeth O’Malley as Patty Morgan
and Ava Sforza Grace as Cathy Fine
- A freezing New York morning outside Macy’s.
Patty, a sharp, streetwise veteran, trains newcomer Cathy in the rough art of handing out promo cards to passing crowds.
As they trade stories and wait for Cathy’s late friend, the chatter about weather and work slowly peels back into something rawer — loneliness, survival, and how people cling to hope even when the city doesn’t care.
Scene Two — Under the Ice
S🎭 Directed by Isabella Minter
Starring Elizabeth O’Malley as Patty Morgan
and Ava Sforza Grace as Cathy Fine
- Weeks later, the two women meet again on a frozen lake in Georgia. What begins as a friendly ice-fishing trip turns unsettling as Patty reveals the lake’s past — it was once a town called Oscarville, flooded and forgotten. The women’s conversation drifts from jokes to confessions to the uncanny, as the silence under the ice begins to press upward.
It’s funny, eerie, and deeply human — a haunting story about history, guilt, and what lies beneath the surface.
