"I could tell you stories, but I don't think you want to hear them."

Summary:

Imagine yourself in a bar, the sort of old fashioned place with dark wood and red leather booths and the ghosts of a million cigarettes. You order another drink. A pretty girl sits down next to you and the evening takes on possibilities.

Description:

The fourth in a series of brief dramatic works originally composed in a small black notebook with a fountain pen.

Wry and enigmatic, playful and thought-provoking, "Handwritten Theatre" is a series of brief dramatic works that began in the notebook of an award winning dramatist.

Writer-Director Joseph Dougherty won an Emmy for his work on the groundbreaking series "thirtysomething." His plays have been produced by Manhattan Theater Club and at Lincoln Center. In the detailed miniatures of "Handwritten Theatre" he's found a stimulating new way to tinker with language and perception.

Produced in Los Angeles with a pool of gifted actors, each "Handwritten Theatre" episode is self-contained and produced with royalty-free original music. Programmable anywhere, they're perfect for shows surveying the performing arts scene, or as a challenging treat for late night audiences.
