And the Winner Is
Synopsis:
tells the comic story of Tyler Johnes, a self-obsessed movie star, who is finally nominated for an Oscar, then dies the night before the awards. Outraged at his bad luck and determined to know if he wins (even though he's dead), he bargains with a heavenly gatekeeper to return to earth for the big night. along the way, he drags his agent, his acting rival, his bombshell girlfriend and his ex-wife into the journey, in a wildly twisting tale of Hollywood, the afterlife, and how we are judged.

Duck Hunter Shoots Angel
Synopsis:
the uproarious story of two bumbling alabama brothers who have never shot a duck but think they shot an angel. as they lament their fates in a murky swamp, they are chased by a cynical tabloid journalist and his reluctant photographer, who don't believe any of it-until feathers, wings and a tiara are discovered along the way. the play hystErically interweaves a love story, sibling rivalry, tawdry media, race relations and cultural stereotypes as the chase to find the angel builds to a crescendo in the swamp. Ultimately a sweet allegory about redemption, DUCK HUNTeR SHOOTS aNGeL has been hailed by audiences as a rare comedy with a surprisingly heartfelt lesson.
