After Jordan gets kicked out of class for talking, the day somehow gets worse when a pencil (and a slew of other inanimate objects) start to talk! Jordan is joined by a hall-monitor, the custodian, a teacher, and the principal as they try to get to the bottom of all this yammering. Great short comedic piece with all gender-neutral roles.
Rachel Bublitz is a playwright known for telling stories about women, and creating exciting new work for young performers. The Z Space premiere of her play “Ripped” received the Will Glickman Award for the best premiere play in the Bay Area. She’s thrilled to return to PlayGround to develop “Funny, Like An Abortion.” Other plays include “Burst” (developed at Salt Lake Acting Company, PlayGround, and more), and “The Night Witches” (published with Dramatic Publishing). During the pandemic Rachel tried her hand at a novel, which she’s still developing. Turns out novels have a lot more words than plays.
