Synopsis: Big Sky is an anthology that explores the gravitational pull of small town life and the way it anchors us, inspires us, or calls us back home. Across ten short plays, the collection captures the vastness of the horizon and the familiarity of a tight knit community. From a couple playing slots in a casino and a trio of women baking casseroles, to a pair of elderly rivals arguing in a curling rink and a slacker seeking advice from a wise owl puppet, the stories weave together comedy and drama in boldly theatrical ways. Designed for ultimate staging flexibility, the plays function as a cohesive evening of theatre when produced together, yet each remains a standalone story that can be performed individually. Ultimately, Big Sky serves as a poignant and humorous reflection on how the places we come from never truly leave us.

Plays included: Sky Full of Popcorn, Superb Owl, Necessary Suspenders, Where With All, The Great Minnesota Hot Dish, Big City Gal on the Go, Escape Goats, Asbestos Possible, Hurry Harder, Big Sky

The plays herein may be licensed together or separately. The piece was conceived as a full length evening of entertainment, but each short stands perfectly well on its own without any prior knowledge of the characters.
