Happy Hour: Plays About Drinking

Six actors, four playwrights and two directors come together for an evening of original comedic one-acts exploring the reasons we drink and the potential results.Improbable Fiction’s inaugural production, 2007’s Twelfth Night, began as a collaboration amongst a group of bartenders working together in Broadway theatres.  Mick Bleyer and Molly Thomas honor the company’s roots by producing a collection of all-new alcohol-themed one-act plays. After receiving submissions from across the country they narrowed the field to the four works that comprise this first installment of Happy Hour: Michael Baldwin’s serenDRIPity, Quinn Michael Mattfeld’s A Bar Tale OR Steve and The Other Guy, Susie Morgan’s Fate, or Something and Molly Thomas’ The Princess and the Woodsman.  These plays examine a range of situations that alcohol can incite, whether it be late-night subway meetings, post-work bar encounters, possibly ill-advised hookups or drunken fairy tales.
