Doubles Crossed

Synopsis:
Time: the present. Place: the big city. Dimwitted yet determined police detectives Ramsey and Flapjack have been hunting wisecracking hoodlum FrEddie (aka FrEddie the Finisher) and the notorious Dead Street mob with nothing to show for it. Now, Freddie's identical twin brother, hometown hero and newly appointed FBI Chief Irving Tower, is coming to town. With a retiring police chief and a crackerjack reporter breathing down their necks, the boys now have only days to stop Dead Street's dastardly quest for the heist of the century and solve a femme fatales bizarre missing person case. Gumshoes, guns and gams galore!

How To Fold A Map?

Synopsis:
How to Fold a Map? is a high-speed misguided journey into worlds known and unknown. a myriad of colorful characters meander through three universes: home, work, and surreal fantasy. Tables are turned, nightmares become reality, automated voices animate, and soap stars save the planet in this warped program of 20 micro stories. How to Fold a Map? is an eclectic smorgasbord of depraved fun from the earth to the moon.

Love Me

Love Me
This show is part of the Planet Connections theatre Festivity. This is their official description: Underachieving writer/motivational speaker Charlie Styptic is mired in a lifelong love life slump. Forever lovesick yet chronically self-effacing, he's haplessly counseled by a simpleminded sidekick and a newly befriended womanizer. Will he ever find love or be eternally controlled by the incessantly critical voice in his head?
