Teenage Fithian has to undergo a painful, lengthy medical procedure twice a week to keep his older brother, Ray, alive. To survive this, he spends time going in his mind to the South Pole with Sir ernest Shackleton, his hero. He feels trapped and resentful, and hostilities develop between the very different brothers: one, slight, artistic, and possibly gay; the other tall, athletic and heterosexual. Finally the treatment stops working, and Ray becomes sick. the brothers recognize their love for each other as Ray dies. Fithian is able to see Ray's courage and acceptance of death, and understand his brother is now part of him.

Time & Tide

Synopsis:
juxtaposes two colorful worlds: a Yorkshire fishing village of a hundred years ago, and the struggle of life against the sea; and a traveling British music hall show. Tom and Polly's bittersweet romance is punctuated by lively music hall songs, the high jinks of the theatre troupe, and the roar of the sea, represented by a "chorus." the sea permeates the play and reflects its themes of survival and the cyclical nature of life.

Way's End

Synopsis:
a large-cast play about 13-year-old Lexi, in trouble at home and school, when she is catapulted into an imaginary journey that becomes the perfect metaphor for the journey to adolescence. Scenes in "the Lost and Found," the zany "Opposite Land," the disturbing "Land of Herself," or the playful "Land of Childhood Past" include springboards for an individual director's own creativity, and great opportunities to include everyone who tries out!
