But Mary is about to learn there’s something special inside her; something that will have horrifying\, deadly consequences for anyone who crosses her path. MARY is a serialized audioplay told over twelve half-hour episodes.” \nEARL: A SUICIDE by Tyler Rivenbark\nIn the Summer of 1985 Tyler was born. Less than a year later in the Spring of 1986 his grandfather killed himself. In the Spring of 2016 Tyler started writing Earl: A Suicide – a meta exploration of the thirty silent years in between. \nEMPTY SECTS by Scott Casper\nOur relationships degraded by the internet age\, with connection masking isolation and isolation masking connection. \nAIRBNB by Jason Tseng\nKelvin and Victor’s lives are turned upside down when Victor’s mother\, June\, makes an unannounced visit. Victor isn’t out yet\, so they rent an apartment on AirBnB from Tristan in order to stage it as Victor’s apartment. Familial tensions flare as flames\, new and old\, threaten Kelvin and Victor’s relationship. Meanwhile\, June grapples with her own secrets. \nUNPACKING JOB by Lisa Huberman\nAn artist embarks on a project to commemorate the anniversary grandmother’s death\, and is forced to grapple with her own emotional inheritance. A meditation on vintage clothes\, family guilt\, and Old Testament angst. \nLIFE AFTER BIRTH by Kristine M. Reyes\nLong days\, sleepless nights\, spit-up and poop and so many tears.

The mission objective of The Launch Pad is to serve as a testing ground for Queens based playwrights who need to hear their plays out loud.

Through this program\, the utmost care is taken to foster a safe and productive environment in order to propel the play forward. \n
