Damaged Goods

Synopsis:
In the dark after-hours of 9/11, Daniel and Kathleen reflect not only on what America means to them, but what they mean to each other. Far away from the dangers of Manhattan in their Hamptons cottage, their conversation reveals startling incidents from the past that bring the threat of harm closer to home than either of them could imagine.

Pen

Synopsis:
PeN is about a Long Island family at a pivotal moment in their lives. Confined to a wheelchair, Helen and her son, Matt, are locked in a relationship where love, guilt, recriminations and the ever-present desire to make things right all share centerstage. When it's time to apply to college, Helen tries to hold tightly to her son by influencing his enrollment in a nearby college, while her ex-husband Jerry tries to get the boy into USC, thinking that Matt needs to get some distance from his mother. In addition, Jerry is about to marry his new girlfriend and has yet to figure out how to tell them. Caught in the middle of all this is Matt. What happens next is at once unexpected and inevitable. the relationship between mother and son takes a mysterious turn, allowing the three of them to consider options that were up to now impossible. Will Matt make it to college? Will Jerry get remarried or will Helen and he get back together? PeN is a sly, perceptive play about the deep bonds that hold a family together and the harsh truths that tear them apart.

Snakebit

Synopsis:
a study of modern friendship when put to the test, the play centers on Jonathan and his wife, Jennifer, while they visit their oldest friend, Michael, at his home in Los Angeles. Jonathan, an actor, is in L.a. auditioning for a film-his first big break at stardom-and he's dragged Jennifer with him for support. Jennifer is distant because their daughter was left at home with a relative, and she's become ill. Michael is distracted as his boyfriend has left him, and one of the children he counsels was beaten and put in a hospital where he cannot see her. at first the focus is on the universal questions we all face at one point or another, specifically self-doubt, and our selfish need for support. With the arrival of a guest, the play becomes deeper and forces us to see how ugly we can be when we look only at ourselves when we really should remember to look at others-especially those we love.
