Pear Slices 2024
Various Playwrights
Pear Theatre
Pigs seeking shelter, zombies released by the millions, precious memories found in a flower garden, Juliet’s visitor in Romeo’s tomb, Tarot cards coming to life. These are just some of the glimpses from this year’s crop of Pear Slices 2024, the near-twentieth annual array of eight, original, one-act plays produced by Pear Theatre – each premiere piece ten-to-fifteen minutes in length and all acted in repertory by a cast of six playing a total of twenty-seven roles. In a matter of one hundred minutes (plus intermission), stories are told; characters, developed; emotions; aroused; memories, made. And as in past years, more often than not, the 2024 short plays succeed in engaging, entertaining, and even enlightening the audience.
