If you’d written three short comedies that were centered on or take place in a bed and wanted to put them together into one show, what would you call it?

If you were the clever Albi Gorn, you’d call it “Thrice Upon a Mattress, A Comedy in Three Parts,â€? and you’d arrange to have it run under the auspices of M&M Productions, which sets up library tours of noteworthy theater pieces throughout the Lower Hudson Valley.

Gorn directs “Thrice,” which begins its run on Sunday, Sept. 23 at 2 p.m. at the John C. Hart Memorial Library, 1130 Main St., in Shrub Oak.

The three plays that comprise “Thrice Upon a Mattress” include:
“A Name by any Other Name,� a linguistic farce set into motion by the
forgetting of a name.
“Dream Lover,â€? in which a wife is so skeptical of her husband’s surprising romantic performance that she decides they must be having a dream.
And “Coming Out Party,� in which two women try to convince their recently separated, zero-self-confidence friend to come out of the bedroom where the guests have left their coats and join the party.

They sound like a lot of fun.

And Gorn has a crew of veterans helping him: Eric and Jeannine Goche, Laura Kramer, Anne Rodgers Pearl and Jim Smith.

In addition to the Shrub Oak performance, the rest of the run includes:
Thursday, Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Ossining Public Library, 53 Croton
Ave.
Sunday, Nov. 4 at 2 p.m. at the New City Library, 220 N. Main St.
Saturday, Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. at Yonkers Public Library, Will Branch,
1500 Central Park Ave.

All performances, which are suitable for those 13 and older, are free.
