Kick off Pride with an evening of new short plays by the Village Playwrights, New York's LGBT playwrights collective.  Cause and Effect promises to be an emotional roller coaster ride and revealing look into some of the causes and effects of contemporary gay life.

The plays include:

"TWENTY-FIVE" by Kevin Berry.  A brother and sister attend a surprise birthday party for their younger brother—only to be ones surprised.

"DINER TALK" by Andrew Velez. Two longtime friends have a conversation about the sexuality of one of the men and how their lives will move on afterwards.

"THIRD TIME’S A CHARM" by K.S. Stevens. Two Lesbians argue over whether or not “coffee” is technically a date.

"COMMERCE STREET SONNATA" by Emanuel Gavales.  A young man struggles to stay away from his former boyfriend despite the financial and emotional advantages.

"GUESS WHO'S NOT BRINGING OPRAH HOME TO DINNER" by Gwen Baer. A single Lesbian discusses dating possibilities, all hypothetical, from Bernie Madoff to Oprah with her old fashioned Jewish Mother.

"TALES FROM THE VIENNA WOODS" by William Henry Koch, Jr.  A gay man tries to connect with his aged father who has Alzheimers. 

"RUMBLE IN THE RAMBLE" by George Bistransin.  Two straight men look for easy money in New York’s famed gay cruising grounds.

ABOUT THE VILLAGE PLAYWRIGHTS
The Village Playwrights have been meeting at the LGBT Center for many years.  The group is open to all playwrights and screenwriters.  It is a place where playwrights can take risks, find one’s voice and speak from the heart.  It is especially support to LGBT writers who might feel the need to censor themselves in traditional writing groups.
