The Miss Alice Plays
The Miss Alice Plays are a series of three ten-minute plays about people trying to make connections. While Miss Alice never appears in any of the plays, she is mentioned as the kindergarten teacher of at least one adult character in each of the plays. These adults have forgotten some important lessons Miss Alice taught them – will they remember those lessons in time?? In “Old Maids Never Worry” a word game on a short, suburban train ride provides a young wife the opportunity to gain acceptance into her husband’s world. In “Freedom of Information” a persistent telemarketer makes a connection with a lonely young man. In “Time Out” a young woman’s excessively fast-paced lifestyle lands her in a cosmic time out with the kindergarten teacher she has long forgotten. The Baltimore Sun wrote, “Rich Espey’s Miss Alice Plays...make clever use of language...and showcase some of the Baltimore Playwrights Festival’s more talented writing.”
Produced as part of the 2006 Baltimore Playwrights Festival at Fell’s Point Corner Theatre, June 29 – July 23, 2006.
