Huzzy

Two old women, award-winning gossipers, coincidentally run into each other on a bustravelina south from Chicago. The principal gossiper begins telling a story of a Huzzy who hadstolen her favorite daughter's husband. While she is telling the story, a sexy young girl gets on the bus and sits beside a near-middle-age man who is sleeping. as the trip wears on the man and the girl become friendly, which adds fuel to the already hot story gossiper number one has going about that Huzzy. The friendship of the man and the girl develops to the extent that the gossipers start to compare the girl to the Huzzy they are talking about. They lose all control when the girl and the man become involved in a kissing scene. The gossipers lose all interest in the Huzzy they were talking about and concentrate on the one in front of their very eyes. The play is a barrel of laughs.

Malice In Wonderland

Synopsis:
about a closely-knit family who has moved into a changing neighborhood. The family is part of that upward mobility blacks were going through during the middle sixties. The highlight of the play is when Malesia, a wayward sister, purges the members of the family during the absence of the mother, who has visited a dominating influence of absolute rule and color consciousness on three generations.
