Stories about writers aren’t always fun -- the pitfalls include conceited, oblivious, and incestuous points of view. But tales about stage folk are often entertaining, because those people are nuts. The current Herberger Lunch Time show, Life in the Theatre, comprises three tiny plays presented by Theatre Artists Studio. John J. Wooten’s “The Role of Della,” about a botched audition, is one of the most-produced one-acts ever. Two shorts by Studio members, “How to Quit Writing (for the Theater),” set at an unusual workshop, and “Presbyopia,” examining the challenges faced by an aging and perhaps delusional actress, round out the program.
