Mom Tell Me The Perfect Gift for Your Mom A Treasure of Memories for You

The Lanford Wilson New American Play Festival identifies and supports new plays that feature robust roles for college-aged actors, while providing a laboratory to train students in the skills and ethics inherent to collaborating with living playwrights on new works. This collection features the ten short plays that were Official Selections of the 2024 Lanford Wilson New American Play Festival - chosen from hundreds of submissions from around the United States. From the story of a woman learning about her girlfriend's unusual Santa tradition, to a couple's unlikely reunion after a life-altering science experiment, to a young woman's roommates intervening in her love affair with an oyster, the plays are smart, funny, and full of deeply human characters. They can be performed individually or combined into a dynamic evening of theater, all with robust and challenging roles for actors in their late-teens and twenties.
