It’s Micro Monday, and this week we’re bringing you a short comedy where the BPM is high but the emotional stability is low.
It’s The Beat Drop — a hilarious and delightfully awkward one-minute play by Bethany Dickens Assaf.
Bethany Dickens Assaf is an award-winning playwright, director, and dramaturg based in Orlando, Florida. Her latest full-length play, Slaymaker, received a United Arts of Central Florida grant and will premiere in August 2025.
Bethany is both a personal and audience favorite, and we’re thrilled to feature her work on Stories Found again. Keep an eye out for a longer piece by Bethany later this season — be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it.
