Lie With Me
Synopsis:
Lie With Me is a frank and oddly comic story about people who can't seem to help the damage that they inflict on one another. a lifetime of discretion and collusion is exposed as a family matriarch falls ill. the turmoil unleashed provides a psychologically sexual account of complicity on a scale that leaves no one untouched.

Monkeyboy II
Synopsis:
Monkeyboy II is a continuation of the adventures of Monkeyboy, the cursed cockatoo whose very presence brings terrible personal misfortune. Smarter (and meaner) than your average bird, Monkeyboy erodes people's self-confidence, reveals embarrassing truths about their lives, and spouts insightful profanities and pop songs. Having mysteriously survived abandonment in the Amazon, the bird is back--ready to destroy relationships and a city council campaign. A sequel to Charter Theater's 2005 hit, Monkeyboy. Comedy. Recommended for mature audiences. Sat. at 8 p.m.
