Synopsis:
Growing up with a hard-drinking, absentee Father and an emotionally volatile mother who alternated between abuse and affection, Dalton Possett, now a young school teacher, is still affected by nightmares and self-doubt-and finds it difficult to establish a stable relationship with his live-in girlfriend, Teresa. also, when he is deeply disturbed, the only remedy-as it was in his boyhood-is a gentle back massage, a skill which first his mother and then Teresa have mastered. In fact, Daltons present is continually haunted by his past, a factor which is vividly projected through the use of parallel scenes, with Daltie the boy and Dalton the man often onstage simultaneously, and with deftly dovetailed dialogue to enhance the effect. Happy and compatible at first, Dalton and Teresa find their relationship growing progressively more troubled as he presses for marriage, so they can have children, and she tries to hold on to their easy-going, informal arrangement and her own career plans. But, as Dalton becomes more

Synopsis:
Maya Deboats, a performance artist, calls together the family and friends of her recently murdered lover, Veronica, for a performance art memorial service that travels seamlessly through the past and present in an effort to reconstruct Veronica's life. Together they create an actual, lasting structure-a work of art-which ultimately helps them to understand and move on. We learn that Veronica, who at first believes she is a lesbian, is actually a man "trapped" in a woman's body. after much deliberation, Veronica chooses surgery and becomes "Homer." Homer, however, is once again "trapped" when his mother calls with an invitation to her upcoming wedding. Homer attends the ceremony dressed as Veronica, where he realizes the full impact of denial-of-self that resulted in his "dressing up." Walking home, Homer is attacked by two men who assume he is a woman. as the attack progresses, the attackers discover Homer is a man and brutally kill him. the participants of the memorial service begin to comprehend their gener
