"THE FLAT EARTH PLAYS" Opens Nov. 21 at the Overtime Theater
The plays include "Shattered Past and Broken Glass" by Michael Burger, "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" by Rebecca Coffey, "In My Hands the Stars, the Stars" by Lupe Flores, "A Win Win Situation" by Melissa Marlowe, and "Ring Rust" and "Silent Night," both by Scott McDowell.
John Poole, director of the Overtime Theater, writes:
"'The Flat Earth Plays' are six short stage stories with almost nothing in common, except that each piece explores scenes from lives on the edge; lives about to change forever and irrevocably. There was no audition or entry process for the plays chosen. All the authors are friends or Agents of the Overtime Theater, whose work has been seen before on stages across the city. Over the past months, small scripts kept coming across our plates that we loved, but had no place for. So, we made a place. The Flat Earth.
"We have chosen not to call them 'local' plays or 'amateur,' for both presume too little. They are but a glimmer of the talent we have seen in these authors, and we hope to encourage them to write more and often. And we hope they keep writing roles for us!"

The Overtime Theater was founded in 2006 by John Poole, a San Antonio theatre veteran who sought to create a performance space “for people who don’t go to theater” (San Antonio Express-News). The Overtime is dedicated to providing innovative and accessible entertainment at an affordable price; past productions have included, most recently, the successful runs of the romance comic-book adaptation of “Sob! Choke! … LOVE!,” which played to sold-out crowds; “The Good Samaritan,” a film-noir work performed live onstage; "Poet Faustus," a modern retelling (with a twist) of the legend about a learned man who sold his soul to the devil; and, "Sheer Bloody Lunacy!," a musical adaptation of an Italian horror movie in the public domain. The Overtime is also the home of two improv troupes, San Antonio ComedySportz and Next Stage Improv.
