Synopsis: John is a normal man, except for one thing: he wants his arms cut off. John suffers from Body Integrity Identity Disorder, a psychological condition in which an individual paradoxically doesn't feel "whole" unless he loses one or more major limbs. When John attempts to find a doctor willing to perform this operation, it triggers a twisted romp filled with mistaken identities, missed chances, and tragic consequences. A provocative farce about notions of personal freedom and medical ethics | ||||

Synopsis: Waking one morning to find thick fur growing on the backs of his hands, young Billy discovers the awful truth his mother has been hiding from him for 14 years. Cast from his home, he sets out on a journey to find his father, the legendary Gorilla Man. Combining influences as diverse as Tod Browning, Tom Sawyer, and T. Rex, Gorilla Man is a strikingly original new music-theater piece. It's a darkly comic coming-of-age tale that explores issues of violence, identity, and free will against the backdrop of a warped American landscape | ||||

Synopsis: A jubilant cast of children celebrate the controversial religion in uplifting pageantry and song. The actual teachings of The Church of Scientology are explained and dissected against the candy-colored backdrop of a traditional nativity play. Pageant is a musical biography of the life of L. Ron Hubbard, with child-friendly explanations of Hubbard's notion of the divided mind (embodied by the lovely identical twins Emma and Sophie Whitfield in matching brain outfits) and a device called the e-meter (or electropsychometer), used to monitor the human psyche, which is demonstrated by stick puppets. Grade school children, portraying Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley, John Travolta, and other less starry Scientologists, brings the controversial Church of Scientology to jubilant life in story and song. | ||||
