New Perspectives Theatre Company (NPTC) is pleased to announce ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, the 2025 Meganne George Women's Work Short Play Festival. The Festival performs in two programs of three plays each, on an alternating schedule.
Program A includes: Customs by Erin Moughon, directed by Melody Brooks, A Laugh Too Far by Yekta Khaghani, directed by Kristen Kelso, and The Future is Female by Melissa Maney, directed by Jennie Reich Litzky.
Customs
Who controls the truth, and who's allowed to know it? In the not too distant future, three sisters find themselves at odds over the answer to that question and to perhaps a more important one—who did Mom like best? Featuring: Penelope Deen, Bess Miller*, Regina Renee Russell*
A Laugh Too Far
If having a voice and a popular platform means having power, then Ava, a successful talk-show personality, had it all. Until she was silenced by a stroke. Who will speak for her now? And what does she really want to say? Featuring: Shiva Kiani, Marie Eléna O’Brien*, Anuj Parikh*
The Future Is Female
In this Frankensteinian satire, three husbands plot to use their dabbling in pseudo-science to turn their wives into creatures of complete submission. Featuring: Sophia Aranda*, Antonyio Artis, Ryan Cooper, Harmony Harris, Annabella Pritchard, Samuel James Pygatt*
SEATING IS EXTREMELY LIMITED; SEATS GUARANTEED ONLY VIA ADVANCE PURCHASE
