About Spontaneous Combustion
Synopsis:
Human spontaneous combustion is not something that most people worry about, but amalia Parker does, and that's why she won't sleep with Rob. Sex with someone she doesn't care about might not be so dangerous, but with the man she truly loves? Spontaneous combustion is a definite possibility. This is the kind of logic that only makes sense in the Parker household, where mom cooks obsessively, dad has turned the house into an interior 18 hole golf course, and ancient maiden aunt emily does laundry and practices the family art of selective sight. When Rob manages to talk amalia into ignoring her fears, the worst happens. amalia's sister Mary Catherine arrives for the funeral, and amalia and Rob have a terrible choice to make. a sweet, quirky comedy.

Ivanhoe, Arkansas
Synopsis:
an adaptation of Walter Scott's Ivanhoe. Ivanhoe is a novel about the abuse of power and the betrayals of the ruling classes, written to offset the anti-Semitism in Shakespeare and books popular in Scott's time. the adaptation transplants the novel to the backwoods of arkansas, in 1966--a time when hillfolk still roam the hills, practicing their own brand of magic. the Vietnam War is raging. the Woodstock Nation is gathering. Ivanhoe is a Vietnam vet, suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome. Rebecca, Scott's beautiful Jewish healer, is a psychiatrist. Jousting is replaced with stock car driving. the villain of the play is based on America's most infamous anti-Semite, a man known as the American Hitler, Gerald L.K. Smith. the play takes place beneath the shadow of his giant Christ of the Ozarks statue, as his private militia is poised to overthrow the American government. Just as in the original novel, the common people band together to destroy the ruling class villain and save the country they love.

Law Makes Evening Fall, The
Synopsis:
a play about hearing and the limits of language and forgiveness. Alan works at the atkinson Center, a place where children with auditory processing problems go for help in understanding the simple things we all take for granted--why goodbye comes after hello, for instance. all seems pretty standard for alan, until he meets ava, a woman who makes him hear a language he cannot ever truly comprehend--passion. We follow alan's descent into madness as his feelings for ava make him doubt that he has ever understood a single word he has ever heard. the play is structured with past and present parts of alan's story intermingled. the central image of the play is alan's bathroom, where ava's bloody, broken body haunts him. But the mystery of her death is not a simple one. Alan must find the courage to decide where, in the dream of his life, responsibility begins and ends.

Napoleon's China
Synopsis:
Claire is on a cyclone-like campaign against a past that is threatening to sink her. She is a mosaist who is breaking antique china that has been in her family for generations and using it to cover tables, vases, walls--every surface in sight. She is contemplating breaking and using the china Napoleon took to elba, which belonged to her great, great, great, great, great, great, grandmother--Josephine. Naturally, the proposed destruction of Napoleon's historically significant dinnerware horrifies Shepard, the historian who lives across the hall. Will Claire break the china? Will Shep break Claire's heart? a play about history, the way we hide it and hide from it, and the way we carry it.

Partial Objects
Synopsis:
the Faust story is one of our eternal myths--a story about striving, about always wanting more, about the struggle to know more, feel more, be more like God. Partial Objects is an adaptation of the myth with two Fausts-a man and a women. When the devil offers them a moment of perfect love, they eagerly agree to give their souls for it. But perfect love is harder to come by then they'd bargained for. a fairy tale about what happens in the night.

Ruling Passion, The
Synopsis:
David Hume, Samuel Johnson, and James Boswell in a play about the moment when the modern age was born in the enlightenment, and Fundamentalism first rose to crush it down. also, a little love story. 1776. David Hume, the mind at the center of the Scottish enlightenment, is dying without fear of hell orhope of heaven. Samuel Johnson has completed his dictionary and reigns supreme as the authority of all things written in the english language. Both have the same disciple: James Boswell an alcoholic, diseased, sex obssed man who is driven by his fear of death to record every moment of his life in his journal. In a lifelong search for a Father figure, he is torn between the Royalist, conservative Samuel Johnson and the Deist, progressive David Hume--men whose philosophies and religious beliefs are diametrically opposed and who are bitter enemies. at stake is the future biography Boswell will write, and the literary and cultural immortality it will grant. David Hume's peaceful acceptance of approaching death pushes Boswell to the very brink of madness, and proves to be the moment that determines Boswell's choice.

When you make glass for a living, you body breaks. Victor, the last in a long line of glassmakers, lies under the knife on the operating table for heart and lung surgery, while his family waits in the waiting room nearby. an inside-out surrealist ride on the wishes and fears of a family as they wait in a hospital waiting room, where every thought and terror becomes manifest.

Wall Of Water, The
Synopsis:
the perfect rent controlled NY apartment has one fatal flaw. . .the roommate from hell. the play takes place on the day the newest roommate can't take it anymore. Classic humor of mistaken identity mixed with new-age twists. the Wall of Water is farce with all the sharp edges showing--it is an intractably woven tale that tackles subjects as serious as death and as important as scientific inquiry, and everything in between. a farce about the nature of madness, the way it is infectious, how we treat it and how we know who is and who isn't. a play with 4 leading roles for young women about strong women and the men who love and sometimes sedate them.

He is a seductive psychopath, addicted to seducing women-and then moving on. Joan knows this. But she can't help herself. She decides to let herself fall all the way in love with him.
