“Bluetooth” by Liz Dooley
Finn gets a phone call from his ex-husband, who’s on his way to the hospital with their daughter.
“Just for Context” by Bethany Dickens Assaf
Elena is struggling to write a new play, but advice from long-dead writers, belligerent readers, and competing expectations from herself and her parents (i.e.: context) are stifling her creativity. When her best efforts fail, she is forced to confront why she became a writer in the first place.

'Monster Girls at Sunshine Doughnuts' by Dani Herd
Monday June 3, 2024 at 7pm - Black Hart of Saint Paul
A vampire, a werewolf, and a Frankenstein's monster walk into a doughnut shop... Meet Louise, Tally, and Elsie: the crew behind Sunshine Doughnuts! The ghouls have fallen into a pretty pleasant spooky routine for themselves; pouring coffee, baking doughnuts, arguing over Scooby-Doo cartoons, having crushes on their regulars. Along comes an unexpected late night visitor to throw everything into question. Sometimes it really sucks how much your past can come back to bite you!
