We look back over highlights from the first half of 2014.

Ellen Davis Sullivan's play “Frosty” and an interview with the playwright.

Donna Stuccio's play “The 9:02 to Soulmateville” and an interview with the playwright.

Playwright Donna Hoke talks about her work, reviews, the process of writing, and how crossword puzzles are made.

The Civic Ensemble specializes in community based plays, works in which interviews or story circles are held, voices are heard, and plays are constructed from what's culled. We talked with Sarah Chalmers Simmons and Godfrey Simmons about this particular process.

OSOS talked with director Amina Omari, assistant director Paige Anderson and actors Judith Andrew and Camilla Schade about what it was like literally stepping into a traditional man's role. (And what it was like having weapons and committing murders onstage!)

The second of our 2014 Halloween play readings, OSOS presents Arthur M. Jolly's “Zombified.”

In the 1960s Sue Perlgut had been part of a troupe called It's All Right to be Woman Theatre, which daringly told the stories of women across America, and included lesbianism, a subject that had rarely been talked about in public before.

Our first 2014 Halloween play reading, OSOS presents Diana Lee Woody's “House Rules.”
