Destructo Snack USA

Synopsis:
In Destructo Snack, USA writer/performers Buchheister and Graalman reconstruct moments, both terrifying and hilarious, with the men and women who have entered and exited their lives in Oklahoma, in NYC, and the places in between. Destructo Snack implodes the notion of identity and our predetermined roles as people who lie and tell the truth to everyone. Buchheister and Graalman engage their distinctively dissimilar voices to examine the way we treat each other, how we present ourselves, where communication fails, and why it is worthwhile, in the end, to give a fuck.

Field 309

Synopsis:
Field 309 is an absurdo-comedy haunted by loss, failure, and fear. In a world that is tightly held together by nothings and seemings, the goal is to keep working. Just keep working. Things are crazy out there, as they say. and items, people, ideas find ways of disappearing or materializing whether Mister Pants likes it or not. as he strives to keep his cool, keep his stuff, his identity, his insides, Mister Pants is partnered, watched, questioned, and, from time to time, reassured.
