DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

This selection of short plays by H. Avery explores themes of trans-ness, disability, and the surreality of present conditions in America. Featuring FATSO GOES TO MCDONALD'S (recently published with Smith and Kraus), DO NOT RESUSCITATE (winner of Cypress Productions' New Plays Now 2024/ finalist with Spectrum Theatre Ensemble) and a new premiere, these selected shorts turn big ideas into bite-sized comedic chops. See you in McDonald's purgatory.

They are a proud two-time alum of Faces of America Monologue Festivals #5 and #6 featuring THE THING ABOUT ME, and TUMMY TROUBLES, respectively (The Playground Experiment.) Recent credits include THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF THE GUT MICROBIOME co-written with Dr. Carly Brennan (Geneva Theatre Guild), SKEETER/SUBMERGED (Sapphest NYC), and DO NOT RESUSCITATE (Cypress Productions).
