Traces of Memory and other plays is a collection of short plays that have all been proved stage worthy. Traces of Memory finds two women, Phoebe and Ruth, contesting a bit of the loneliest highway in America. Cinnamon Rainbow puts a twist on the home invasion scene. Frog Loves Christy finds two people in love who, according to society, shouldn't be. Interviews with Loneliness finds three women candidly revealing their patterns of waiting for and on men. Free Range Chickens asks if soul mates can overcome any obstacle, no matter what it might be.

This collection of 10-minute plays will delight readers and audiences alike. From the dark humor of Nick Zagone's "Sixty Years, to Life" to the zany absurdism of Walter Wykes' "Family 2.0" to the disturbing imagery of Laura Elizabeth Miller's "Fugue," each of these short plays expresses the unique vision of an emerging contemporary dramatist. Together, they make an exciting and diverse evening of theatre. Other plays in this anthology include "While the Auto Waits" by O. Henry, "Lures" by Jeanette D. Farr, "The Next Mrs. Jacob Anderson" by Ann Wuehler, "The Chocolate Affair" by Stephanie Alison Walker, "No Such Thing" by Douglas Hill, "Heart of Hearing" by Joseph Zeccola, and "Phone Arts" by LB Hamilton.
