Hometown audiences in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area finally had an opportunity to see Nedra’s comedy “Speed Dating” when
Lionheart Theatre in Norcross hosted a community-theatres festival of ten 10-minute plays in January 2023. Collaborating were Main Street Theatre, Live Arts Theatre, Merely Players Presents, OnStage Atlanta, and Lionheart. Nedra's play was presented by Live Arts Theatre.
“Speed Dating” was accepted in 2018 for two festivals in Kansas, the William Inge Festival in Independence and the Midwest Dramatists Conference in Olathe. The next year, 2019, the play had three production runs: June at Center for the Arts in Bonita Springs, FL; October at New Jersey Rep’s Theatre Brut in Long Branch; and October at Durango Arts Center in Colorado. Next, the Orange Players in Orange, CT, produced the play in September 2020. The play has been published not once but twice, in Some Like It Hot (the Theatre Brut Festival anthology from Smith and Kraus, 2019), and in Best New 10 Minute Plays 2020 (ed. Larry Harbison, Applause Theatre and Cinema Books, Rowman & Littlefield imprint, 2020).
