Why I Hate My Job
A collection of one acts presented by Hip Obscurity in January 2009. It contained two plays by Zelda Knapp:​​
Butterflies
"A leprechaun, a Greek Goddess, and a thirty-year-old teenager walk into an elevator." What sounds like the beginning of a joke becomes a claustrophobic crisis when the elevator lurches to a halt. From existential musings to career woes, passions run high, nerves are frayed and panic begins to take over ... in a very small space.   

This is Hell
Bruce is dropped into the reception room to Hell ... a little bit early. As he finds himself transported back and forth between his final destination and his last day on Earth, Bruce valiantly attempts to cheat fate.
