Electric Century, The

Synopsis:
an historical fantasy imagining an encounter between Thomas edison and Belle da Costa Greene in late 19th-century New York. Ms. Greene, the curator for J. P. Morgan's library, who selected most of the manuscripts and paintings still there today, was an African-American passing for white to gain access to the highest social circles of New York. edison envisions a legacy of science, leading inevitably to progress; Belle sees her aesthetic legacy as more significant than edison's designs. as their relationship develops, set against the megalomania of Henry Clay Frick and the dingy ambition of characters stuck in New York's most famous slum, Belle's ability to invent her self proves more modern and adaptable than edison's invention of mere trinkets.

Having left life in New York to teach in a private boarding school, Paul and his wife are tasked with parenting a house of sixteen-year olds before they have any children of their own. When one girl embarks on a series of self-destructive pranks that intrude into the couple's private sphere, Paul must confront the myth that prep school is a sylvan scene compared to the rough competitive world he left behind in the city.

Rant, The

Synopsis:
This is from the press release: "the police are called to a domestic dispute, shots are fired, a crowd gathers, and in the end a boy is dead and no one will say what actually happened. In this modern-dayRashomon, where everybody's account of the event differs, the investigator assigned to the case must confront prejudice, deceit, indifference, intimidation, and threats, as she struggles to assign culpability. Surrounded by threatening forces on all sides, will she be able to rise above her own preconceptions and face her own demons to find out where the truth really lies? Playwright andrew Case spent seven years working as an investigator for the Civilian Complaint Review Board in New York City and his often trying experiences contributed greatly to the creation of the play. If his characters ring true it is because of what he learned and saw in this volatile environment where the public and law enforcement came into daily, and sometimes deadly contact. From the grieving mother, to the overworked police officer struggling with the tragedy, to the hardened and cynical newspaper reporter, the characters achieve an authenticity that can only come from a playwright who has fully lived these moments."
