Wagner New Play Festival Presents MFA One-Acts

The Wagner New Play Festival is an annual festival of new works by MFA playwrights, in collaboration with MFA/PhD directors, actors, designers, stage managers, and dramaturges. Don't miss "Promithes, Promithes" written by Agyeiwaa Asante MFA '24 and "Nonna Kills the President" written by Milo Cramer MFA '24, and directed by Emily Moler MFA '22.

About "Promithes, Promithes": "Promithes, Promithes" is a portrait of a friendship in crisis. Ash has always been there for Jeremy but when she finds herself helping him navigate yet another personal crisis she wonders if it is finally time for these two old friends to define their relationship. A comedy about how we treat the people we claim to love.

About "Nonna Kills the President": Nonna is in her 90s and spends her days pooping and puzzling and watching the news. Mona is in her 70s and spends her days cleaning up the poop and fantasizing about abandoning Nonna in the woods. Nonna doesn’t know who she is but she knows one thing. She wants to kill the president. "Nonna Kills the President" is a mother daughter comedy/thriller/daydream about an old woman’s dying wish and the caring daughter she’s leaving behind.
