‘The Sandstorm’ in Roanoke
Posted by Dwayne Yancey in News, Photos, Productions on July 23, 2023

When my friend Randy Walker asked me if I’d like to contribute a performance to an evening of entertainment that he was putting on to raise money for his church’s pollinator garden, I knew immediately which one: THE SANDSTORM. It’s one of my most-produced 10-minute plays and one of the easiest to produce, even if the two characters are Martians. Amber Carderelli and Sidney Grutz agreed to come over to Roanoke to perform the show. Amber most recently directed REVENGE OF THE FAIRY QUEEN at Renaissance Theatre with Sidney as the fairy queen.

The Smith Mountain Lake Arts Council produced my 10-minute play CHEF PIERRE DOES NOT DO SIMPLE on April 2, 2017 at the Bernad’s Landing resort in Scruggs, Virginia.
This marked the fourth production of the script:

“Sometimes Elephants Die Standing Up” to be produced in London
Posted by Dwayne Yancey in News, Productions, Uncategorized on June 20, 2014
My 10-minute play SOMETIMES ELEPHANTS DIE STANDING UP will be produced in London this September by Ghost Dog Productions. It will be part of an evening of plays on the theme of “deception” produced Sept. 22-24 at The Horse & Stables, which appears to be on Westminster Bridge Road in the Waterloo section of London.
This will be the first production of the script, although it had a staged reading last month, also in the U.K. — that one in Scotland through Unproduced Moon.
Here’s a synopsis:
SOMETIMES ELEPHANTS DIE STANDING UP
Two lowly circus workers try to figure out what to do with an elephant dies. An absurdist look at how the economy works. Cast: Two males. Running time: Ten minutes.
