September 6th: On Our Terms
The Forge Theater Lab’s show week starts off September 6th debuting a new play by Mary Darling with an interesting premise.
“What if you could negotiate a one-year relationship contract with a potential partner to ensure all your expectations are met? In this provocative comedy, two people meet to do just that. As they make their way through the transaction, they share stories of previous failed relationships, in hopes that maybe this one will last.”

September 7th: Close your eyes and look
Yet another piece of original theatre featured this month is the staged audio play Close Your Eyes and Look by Daniel Bazarian. The play is a surreal trip into the lives of three characters, one of which is played by Casey Woods. Casey will also be appearing in Martian Radio Theatre’s The Man Who Was Thursday. Check out some theatre and support the scene!
“A young woman ventures back out into the night life of the city for the first time in a while. Heartache, creepy strangers, the omnipresent threat of terrorist attack -- nothing can stand in her way! (With the possible exceptions of anxiety, Uber drivers, and crappy dating apps). Close your eyes and look as Avice tries to find her way through the adventure and alienation of her evening out.”
