Molting - A Short Play by Michael Towers

“At a lunch table for 2 at a seaside Clam Shack, the world is reduced to a microcosm, just for a moment, but it’s enough to change a few lives, and eventually perhaps the world too.”    -All Out Arts

Michael Towers' new play "Molting" is an entire world in an 11-minute microcosm, as a young father must explain to his young daughter why their family life is about to change drastically. In the words of one viewer "There is honesty, tenderness, and a lot of comedy as the two work through a new set of circumstances. I admire Michael's ability to make us laugh and cry in only 10 minutes.”

We have been working on the RadioPlay version of the work since mid 2023, and are now posting the revised audio version of the play which meanwhile has already gone on to win short play contests in Georgia, New York, Florida, and New Jersey, - and is already a Semi Finalist in the Samuel French Short Play Festival.

Author & Director: Michael Towers; Zack Dictakis (the Father), Lily Rogers (the daughter); Dramaturgy by Maia Cataldo. Sound Engineering by Zack Dictakis -Long Sought Films.

Seemingly helped by experiments he is subjected to, he wonders how many of his newly recovered memories are real, and which are implanted by his wife and her friend, his doctor!

A podcast within a Radioplay within a . . .   The Switch is a work of fiction set within a virtual broadcast studio. An analysis of "Freaky Friday" leads to a blurred continuity between caller and host, redefining submission and dominance in an electronic era.

"The Switch is a work of fiction inspired by the writing of Steve Almond, John Paul Brammer, Daniel M. Lavery, Dan Savage, and Cheryl Strayed; as well as by Sarah Lunnie’s 2016 Salon piece “Maybe the word ‘rapist’ is a problem,” Susan Choi’s novel Trust Exercise, Davey Wreden’s game The Beginner’s Guide - and of course, Freaky Friday."
