Snow White The Melodrama

We Open Tomorrow Night?!
​by Michael Wehrli


It’s dress rehearsal for the Belvedere student-run talent show… and everything is spiraling delightfully out of control. The PTA mom is way too involved, the British act can’t quite land the accent, Ian is determined to air-guitar on pogo sticks (for reasons unknown), and—uh oh—where did the lights go?! Each production gets to customize the show with its own acts; making every performance totally unique.

Available as a full-length or
one-act.

Houston We Have A Problem
by Michael Wehrli


Three days before opening night, and everything that can go wrong absolutely is! The set is half-built, the props and costumes are nowhere to be found, the light and sound crew have ditched rehearsal to film a wedding, and the playwright is teetering on the edge of a full-blown meltdown. Perfect timing, right?

Screwdriver Man - A Zen Story
​by Michael Wehrli


A one-act play told with flowing movement. It is a Zen tale about attachment, identity, and worship of “experts”. Screwdriver Man explores the essence of being human, and the trappings of rigid attachment and ego. The play is told with extensive free-flowing movement, with the full focus on the actor’s telling of the story.
