Melinda is clairvoyant when it comes to all things related to sports. She is addicted to sports gambling, as anyone would be if they were truly psychic. Her boyfriend Ricky, as a deeply religious & superstitious Catholic, is fearful of Melinda's gift, and her flippant attitude about the sinfulness of gambling. He watches as Melinda convinces their boss Bruno to bet against the Miami Dolphins for every game during their 1972 perfect season for a total of eighty thousand dollars. In wagering with Bruno, Melinda inadvertently exposes the truth to Ricky: his beloved Miami Dolphins are about to reach perfection with an undefeated season.

Fat F**K

Synopsis:
Fat F*** follows Sam, a closet chubby chaser in search of a soul mate. Sam is torn between his desires to be with the fat women that he is attracted to and his concern about how people would perceive him if he were to publically be seen with a fat woman. Sam causes the women in his life suffering: He barely tolerates his skinny girlfriend Claudia. He is involved in a torrid affair with his married, zaftig boss angela. Finally, he meets chunky chef Gina, who could very well be his soul mate. To complicate matters, Sam is haunted by the ghost of his mother, a fat woman who only wants her son to find the right woman and be happy for the rest of his life. In the words of Sam's mother, "apparently my son's anti-fat prejudices are at conflict with his natural desires and he's too self-centered and egotistical to have anything more than a superficial sexual relationship with a woman of Reubenesque proportions. . . that's a fancy way to say that my son is a closet chubby chaser."

Notes:
Fat F*** is currently A one Act play. the Author is working to further develop the story As A full-length play with two Additional characters And As A screenplay.

Synopsis:
Welcome to the Family is a "sitcom within a play". as part of a vibrant celebration of the first amendment, the play takes toilet humor to new heights. theatergoers become the live studio audience for this sitcom, which has been declared "Inappropriate for Network Television" by the FCC. the sitcom centers on Carl and Peggy Jeffery, a retired couple who share their home with their screwed-up adult children. as an unwelcome guest tries to join the family, Carl and Peggy are forced to take desperate measures. Welcome to the Family begs the question "How far will parents go to protect their children?" Welcome to the Family is presented complete with commercials. the commercials promote everything from fiber supplements to erectile dysfunction tablets to yogurt. Like the sitcom, they have been deemed "unfit for public consumption", so they will never be seen on network TV.

Notes:
Welcome To the Family is A sitcom that takes place in Carl & Peg's living room. Ideally, the commercials should be pre-recorded And projected. the Actors from the sitcom may be used for them, though it is not necessary.
