On March 4 and 7, Off-Broadway's Primary Stages will offer A Moment of Bliss—or, rather 22 moments, as the two evenings are composed of that many one-act plays by just as many authors.

The biggest name in the bunch is filmmaker-playwright Neil LaBute, of The Shape of Things fame. His one-act, Coax, will be the highlight of the March 7 evening. Other scribes of note include Edwin Sanchez, Ruth Margraff and Stephen Belber.
