Posing As People
 


Posing As People is a collection of three one-act plays based on the fiction of Orson Scott Card and shows how hard it is to tell the difference between genuine humans and those who only pretend to be.

  • Clap Hands & Sing
    Adapted for the stage by Scott Brick
    • An old man goes back into his younger self to recover a love he let slip by.

  • Lifeloop
    Adapted for the stage by Aaron Johnston
    • The star of the 24/7 "reality soap" can't step out of character when her life depends on it.

  • A Sepulchre of Songs
    Adapted for the stage by Emily Janice Card
    • A bedridden accident victim finds a friend speaking to her from the cold and dark of space.

First performed at the Whitefire Theater in Sherman Oaks, California on September 10, 2004, Posing As People gained notoriety as one of Backstage West's Critic's Picks, and was heralded by the paper as "clever and hilarious . . . powerfully moving . . . one of the most memorable plays this year."
