GLO (Green Light One-Acts) was created by Green Light Productions to showcase the best short plays written by women. Submissions for this year’s GLO were open to only Los Angeles-area women because of our commitment to local artists. Out of over a hundred submissions, these five plays represent some of the most talented writers in our area who are creating dynamic characters, fresh relationships and engaging stories. Powerfully funny and intensely moving, the 2015 GLO plays are an incredible look at love, loss and surviving them both.

Announcing the GLO Plays:

All About Harold by Diane Grant

Directed by Laura Steinroeder

Featuring: Varda Appleton, Michelle Simek and Amy Stoch

No one knows where Harold is or why he’s left each of the women who love him without a trace. All About Harold is about how we connect and sustain each other in surprising ways and sometimes find friendships that last a lifetime.

Fiddlin’ on the Mountaintop by Robin Byrd

Directed by Julianne Homokay

Featuring Shanel N. Moore

Lulla Bell Jury lost her momma; all she has left is the fiddle her mother gave her and the beauty and pain of life in the Appalachian Mountains. A tale of music, loss, family, and land.

Gentleman’s Pact by Karen Howes

Directed by Michelle Joyner

Featuring: Joni Allen, Dan Riordan and Eric Toms

This play takes a witty Albee-esque look at the power plays in a friendship and marriage when one man asks another for permission to marry his wife.

The Plan by Katherine James

Directed by Branda Lock

Featuring: Zoe Lillian and Kyra Morling

Two young girls mend broken promises and plan future dreams while waiting for the morning bus to school.

Vital Records by Alex Dilks Pandola

Directed by Miranda Stewart

Featuring: Gayla Johnson and Kate Torri

Trapped in the never-ending hell that is the Department of Vital Records, Patricia encounters a trio of government employees who guide her along a path of self-discovery.
