Molting - A Short Play by Michael Towers
Monday Jul 01, 2024
Monday Jul 01, 2024
“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.

Benedictions on the Escapes
Monday Jun 21, 2021
Monday Jun 21, 2021
“While waiting for their son Diego to return from a demonstration, Esper wonders about his safety and about her husband who has returned home early from work. Esper has recently passed the citizenship test. At first reluctant to tell her, Manny finally admits that he has been furloughed from his work because of the Covid-19 virus. When Diego arrives, energized from the demonstrations, he inspires Esper and Manny to review and renew their lives in this country.”
Can you join protests if you are worried about paying the light bill or the rent? And what of losing a job, struggling with online classes, fighting for subsidies . . . Our 20-21 season of Radioplays ends with this dramatic yet uplifting family offering by playwright Benjamin V. Marshall, directed by John Pietrowski. Presented in 1-Act of about 38 minutes, this compressed "world-theatre" manages to cover the big three concerns of our time: Immigration, the Covid pandemic, and the Black Lives Matter movement, and makes us all stronger in the process.
A RadioPlay in the 2020-21 season of the Fresh Fruit Festival by All Out Arts. Details and Program Book info during the closing remarks. More details at FreshFruitFestival.com
