Love Never Dies In Memory: A Post-Electric Bake-Off
This season, the Bake-Off centers around themes from our 2022 Season. Come see the work of your neighbors read by professional actors from the HVSF company!
Three Sisters Outside of Bergen County, New Jersey
by Alex Lin
An adaptation of Chekhov’s Three Sisters set on the shoulder of the New Jersey Turnpike.
Harvest
by Luis Quintero
Enter if you dare! Set on the mountainside at the mouth of the cave, Harvest reveals the terrifying secrets of what happens in the dark.
Edge of Reason
by Serena Norr
Stila arrives at the pharmacy to have her face changed. The Pharmacist is happy to go along with her wishes…until she’s on the operating table. A creepy, Stepford Wives-esque tale of beauty and control.
Romeo and Juliet, But Chill
by Alana Jacoby
Juliet and Ophelia totally don’t need to talk about boys. Hamlet and Romeo are whatever. Right? A love story of teenagers desperately trying to be Super Chill about falling in love for the first time.
The Wish
by Tisha Dunstan
A tortured love story of a couple that can’t quite commit to each other, The Wish asks: what would we do differently if we had a second chance?
The Undergrowth
by Danielle Frimer
A young man walks into a pharmacy on the precipice of making a major decision. What he doesn’t realize is that the pharmacist is about to change the course of his life.
PLEASE NOTE: At this time, both performances are fully reserved. Check back as more tickets may be released.
WHAT IS THE BAKE-OFF, ANYWAY?
Created by the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, the Bake-Off is a community playwriting event in which participants are given a list of “ingredients” surrounding a theme to incorporate into their play to inspire creativity.
