Gallery Players has a history of supporting emerging playwrights, fostering play development, and producing world premieres. Now in its 28th year, our playwright-focused festival aims to polish and perfect a collection of new plays and offer a home where playwrights can deepen their stagecraft and hold a mirror up to our time.

Schedule

Week Two: Jan. 23 – 26, 2025

M&A

Playwright, Joseph Bulvid

Director, Mark Harborth

M&A provides an inside view to the high-risk, highly pressurized world of corporate Mergers & Acquisitions. Rankin is a high-flying savant in the world of M&A. Project YP will be the biggest deal ever if he can make it happen. Rankin’s deeply flawed personal life emerges as he struggles to close the deal that could “change the world.”

CAMBRIOLAGE

Playwright, James Kelsey Nelson

Director, Noel MacDuffie

Five actors are randomly assigned their roles at the top of the performance in this expressionist comedy. A receptionist working at a museum late at night is tricked by an intruder and an active burglary ensues. As more visitors arrive – the curator of the museum, a police dispatcher who is learning on the job, and a nosy neighbor who seizes an opportunity to advance their career – the situation spirals out of control.
