NASHUA – Yellow Taxi Productions will premiere three new short plays at the Hunt Building, 6 Main St., in “Playwrights We Love.” There are only two performances: 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, and 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 13. All tickets are $15 and are available at www.cityartsnashua.org.
Nashua’s local playwright and winner of a New Hampshire Theatre Award for Best Original Script, Lowell Williams, will premiere “The Diner.” Williams was just named to New Hampshires Magazine’s 2009 It List and his plays “The Warmth of the Cold” and “Six Nights in the Black Belt” had their premieres with Yellow Taxi Productions. “The Diner” is an examination of family and what happens when you are offered a second chance by the ones you love.
New York City actor and playwright Brian Dykstra will be represented by his play “Service Order.” Yellow Taxi Productions produced Dysktra’s play, “Clean Alternatives,” and it won Best Original Script at that year’s New Hampshire Theatre Awards. In “Service Order,” two employees begin to question everything they think is true when they are informed the stairs are out of order.
The last play of the evening is by Tony Award nominee and film director Neil LaBute. Yellow Taxi’s very first production was “Bash,” written by LaBute. “Helter Skelter,” LaBute’s offering, concerns the secrets and lies that destroy a marriage during a lull in aChristmas shopping routine.
