Pear Slices 2024

May 27, 2024 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Pear Slices 2024

Various Playwrights

Pear Theatre

Vivienne Truong & Jenna Ruby Marvet

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.

For the complete review, please continue to Talkin’Broadway.

Rating: 3+ E
