New Works Showcase " A Pretty Good Wife"

The first event of Placer Repertory Theater’s 2025-2026 season features Sacramento area playwright and published author Scott Charles at the Parkview Event Room in Rocklin on July 14 at 7 p.m. to share his new play in progress, “A Pretty Good Wife.”
 
An existential, comedic one-act play, “A Pretty Good Wife” began development prior to COVID, originally as Scott’s exploration of a writing prompt, and quickly developed into a scene in which two characters interact, but seemed to be in two different genres simultaneously:  Harold appears to be an absurdist character as he actively grapples with his existential crisis, as Lenny, Harold’s longtime friend, seems to inhabit a world of realism. “From that one exploratory scene has developed a multi-scene one-act play we’re excited to share on July 14,” said the Showcase host, T.S. Forsyth, a professional director/playwright and university educator who facilitates the feedback process with the audience, actors and playwright.
