No Small Parts

[NoHo Arts District, CA] –  Force of Nature Productions returns with No Small Parts, a bold and intriguing collection of diverse new short plays that challenge audiences to question what they think they know.

About No Small Parts

Warm. Disturbing. Fulfilling. Puzzling. From our parents, siblings, and spouses, to imaginary friends and random strangers, to the family we choose, our lives are influenced by our relationships, informing our perspectives and altering our perceptions.

This June, Force of Nature Productions explores human connection, from platonic to romantic, from distant to close, with an evening of original short plays from a diverse group of acclaimed playwrights. Several of these plays were created and workshopped as part of Force of Nature’s creative community and are world premieres.

A young woman stands up for her faith in the face of her professor’s disbelief. Bar patrons struggle to find joy and camaraderie in a world absent the intoxicating effects of alcohol. The recently deceased discover the true value of a human soul. And much, much more.

This evening of theatre may make you laugh out loud in one moment, then hold back tears in the next. You may find yourself nodding in agreement or shaking your head in incredulity with equal vigor. And you may find yourself seeing your own relationships in a new light long after the final bow.
