Blood Orange

Synopsis:
exposes the relationships simmering among the residents of a suburban cul-de-sac during the Orange County real-estate boom. Against a backdrop of sunburnt hills, Clinton and Ray-Ray and the Girl collide with their mothers, their rites of passage and each other. With slam-dance rhythm and punk dialogue, David Wiener's poetic and driven play explores the sensual and savage underbelly of the California hills and the cult of the American Man.

Extraordinary Chambers

Extraordinary Chambers
When Carter, an American telecom executive, brings his wife Mara on a business trip to Cambodia, he never imagines that the ghosts of this beautiful country will find a way to haunt their lives. As business deals unravel and personal negotiations brim with political consequences, Carter and Mara become personally entangled with Khmer Rouge victims and perpetrators, and must decide if the salvation of one life is worth sacrificing justice for many. Genocide, complicity, greed, and love collide in this play that shines a light on the human experience and asks how far are we willing to go to survive?
