Stage Plays
A Playwright too?
After wondering when the resident playwright at my local community theater would write a play for all of the talented actresses showing up to auditions. I soon realized, I didn't have to wait for him to write it because... I could. Within a month, by the end of January 2026, I finished my first full-length play. It unlocked something. By the end of February, I had a second full-length play. By the end of March, I had started two more plays and gotten halfway on each. I just wrapped up one of those, and there's half of April left to finish the other. A play a month is pretty ambitious, but I'm having fun while the creativity lasts.
EVERYTHING'S FINE by Nikki Harwood

An 8-person all female cast.

LAUGHING ALL THE WAY by Nikki Harwood
LAUGHING ALL THE WAY is a domestic dark comedy meets Christmas farce inspired by some true stories but altered for dramatic and theatrical impact, of course. (3M/4W ... And 1 wild electric scooter)
The seed that started this play was the Christmas Eve we received a call from 911 when my mother-in-law went on a joy ride on her electric scooter to the nearest Total Wine instead of coming over for a family dinner. She got lost on her way home and the scooter battery died in front of a random family's home interrupting their holiday and ours.
