Crazy And A Half

Synopsis:
Six insanely hilarious and touching short plays take a sly look at therapists, patients, and the way love drives everyone just a little over the edge. The first three, collectively called "New York Crazy," deal with two therapists fighting for the only hour left in their shrink's day; a divorced couple struggling over custody of their dog Harry; and a shy Mafia wife demanding, with gun in hand, that her therapist make her happy. "California Crazy" shifts to the west coast for three equally funny sessions: an annoyed psychiatrist tries to end therapy with a burnt-out rock star who can only sleep soundly during his weekly sessions; a wacky young woman teaches a stuffy head doctor a thing or two about love; and a married couple with intergalactic problems seeks treatment with a husband and wife team of marriage counselors who are on the verge of divorce themselves. Whether performed individually or as a two act, full-length entertainment, the laughter will be therapeutic.

Funny Valentines

Synopsis:
a delightful romantic comedy that takes place in the New York apartment of andy Robbins, an author of children's books. andy has been leading a rather unsuccessful bachelor life since his divorce eight months earlier from his wife and former collaborator, ellen. Suddenly on one incredible day, ellen re-enters andy's life--eight months pregnant (much to andy's surprise) with their child; Howard, andy's agent, appears with a TV contract that needs the approval of both andy and the very reluctant ellen; Zan, a beautiful lawyer arrives to wrap up the TV deal and seduce andy; and ellen's mother makes an unexpected appearance. By the final curtain, raggedy andy has grown up just enough to straighten out the mess he's created and win back the love of his wife.

Girls Most Likely To Succeed, The

Synopsis:
a romantic comedy that takes place on reunion day at Smith College. The Interlocking stories of four women (classes of '75, '61, '47, and '12) offer proof that everything and nothing changes over the years when it comes to love. "andersen is an exciting discovery, tragicomedy about the ageing process. This seems rather an unlikely subject for a play, and yet it somehow works. For Mr. andersen is a poet who finds the common denominator in all the generations. Dennis andersen is a playwright to watch." -emory Lewis.
