A Shot in the Dark by Sean J. Phillips. The show takes place in the attic room of a clothing shop in St. Louis during the Civil War. At the start of the play, the audience is informed that a woman was just murdered in the shop on the previous night. A detective arrives to investigate, and while he's there, a second murder is committed. He then has to try to solve both murders before more people become victims. Judgement Call by Vivian Allvin. Judgement Call is a short metaphysical comedy following the earthly incarnation of a spirit in pursuit of his identity, from his conception to his achievement of an Academy Award. Nine spirit guides anxiously watch his every turn, as he learns, falters and grows, and as they too attempt to advance their own development. It turns out that entities on the spiritual plane are as flawed, hopeful, and funny as their human counterparts'--or, to put it in one character's words: "Dying doesn't make you smart!"
