The Condor Egg

Josey has a great idea for the art show: she is going to hatch a condor chick, and document its life in photographs. Evan, however, feels it necessary to point out a few obstacles, like that the egg she has been staring at all night long is just a chicken egg from the fridge. Josey, however, is determined to bring a condor to life no matter what it takes.

Awards:

• Finalist, New Play and Musical Festival (Central Florida Community Arts Theatre for Young Audiences, 2020)

Testimonials:

• "A fun and funny ten-minute comedy about temperaments: the fanciful, artistic, ridiculous, and (perhaps) positive up against the realistic, factual, curmudgeonly, and (perhaps) negative. The situation is silly, the characters are wonderful foils for each other. Credit Jeff Dunne for creating a 10-minute short play that might also serve as a personality test. Do you find yourself siding more with Josey or Evan? It might tell you a bit about yourself. Also give Dunne credit for research: Jeff shows more than a little insight into birds/poultry/farming with "The Condor Egg." " (Steven Martin, New Play Exchange, 2021)
