About this Event

A bold and gripping collection of five one-act plays that explore truth, identity, injustice, and the complexities of modern life.


Drawing from real experiences and cultural insight, Enoch R. Cook III delivers powerful, character-driven stories that tackle themes such as corruption, race, ambition, and resilience. Whether it’s the mystery of Who is Jane Doe? or the biting satire of P.O. is Pee-Yoo!, each play challenges audiences and readers alike to confront uncomfortable truths with clarity and courage.


Perfect for actors, educators, and fans of socially reflective drama, this collection offers compelling material for performance, study, or thought-provoking reading.
