Remember 2016? Remember the United States of America? Crazy, right!
This sprawling, irreverent satire uses a Trump1.0-era framing device and some degree of journalistic non-fiction to tell the kind-of true story of an NSA agent on a quest to finally meet his true love… the girl he’s been spying on. As a period piece, No Strings Attached remains depressingly relevant and hilariously dated.
GENRE: Drama
CAST SIZE (M/F): 1M, 1F, 1 girl
LENGTH: Full length
SUITABLE FOR ALL: Contains strong language
1970s, Missouri: at a wind-stripped crossroads, a shy sixteen-year-old girl waits alone as the weather turns strange and the air grows thick with heat. When a charming drifter joins her, their polite conversation slips into something darker, circling faith, sin and freedom of choice.
Steeped in a bluesy, Southern Gothic atmosphere, this intimate piece blends dark humour with creeping menace. Is it better for the girl to be noticed by the Devil… or just a man?

Tam Lin is a dark and lush folk musical that adapts the classic Scottish ballad for the stage as a story of desire, danger and defiance. With a bold heroine, a haunted forest, eerie fairy court and a sweeping, actor-driven chorus, it offers amdram companies the chance to stage something atmospheric, lyrical and richly ecological: part myth, part gothic romance, part forested fever dream.
GENRE: Dramedy
CAST SIZE (M/F): Up to 10 with potential for doubling
LENGTH: Full length
SUITABLE FOR ALL: Yes
When a grieving and sarcastic old man hauls himself up Mount Olympus in search of answers from the gods, he finds instead a mountain full of talking stones, melancholic ghosts, and a shepherd family far kinder than he deserves. As the journey grows stranger, funnier and more moving, old wounds rise to the surface and long-buried truths demand to be faced.
By turns witty, haunting and unexpectedly tender, this myth-infused drama balances family warmth with supernatural reckoning, setting one man’s spectacular midlife collapse against the steady love of those who still know how to care for one another. A rich, imaginative piece with humour, heart and a stone-faced chorus.
GENRE: Science Fiction Thriller
CAST SIZE (M/F): 1F, 2M (one of whom is Global Majority)
LENGTH: One Act
SUITABLE FOR ALL: Contains strong language and violence
Set in a sleek cyberpunk-meets-Apple Store vision of the near-future, Worms in a Golden Apple is a short, chamber play exploring who in our society gets to inherit paradise and who just works there. In a pristine and cybernetically sealed garden of luxurious fruit, what begins as awkward small talk between a farmer, a hostess, and a guest becomes a battle of wills and entitlements as the line between human and machine blurs.
Darkly comic and quietly disturbing, this tight three-person scene builds to a shocking conclusion that lingers long after the doors seal shut. Tense, compact, and a great opportunity for companies to dip their toes into science fiction.
