Airport, The

Synopsis:
M. is heading west on a one-way ticket, no return. While weighing her suitcases at the check-in counter she discovers she's carrying a little more weight than she realized. Either she pays the mortgage-size extra fees or Jenny Craig's it real quick. Unzipping the bags on the airport floor she unleashes a Fellini-esque entourage of embodied memories that includes an umbrella named Henry, a pair of safe-cracking ancestors, a bed-ridden father who thinks he's John Wayne, a Southern belle undertaker and everyone thinks they're going to make it to Hollywood. The Airport is a multi-character/multi-actor performance text that takes a look at one woman's attempt to corral the inhabitants of her life's baggage before it's too late.

Just Back From Dreaming

Synopsis:
Just Back From Dreaming, written & performed by Marlene Nichols: The story dream walks us through a search for greatness (or getting as damn close to it as possible). It's a sometimes sardonic, sometimes silly, always charming take on love and creativity. Learn how to seduce a man with a necklace a la francaise, why you should never steal another writer's notebook, and what to do when your late father shows up to reprimand you for telling everyone he's dead. Oh, and there's a dance number-kick it!

Rum Boogie

Synopsis:
Rip off your girdle and turn up the blues with Rum Boogie! Set against the backdrop of Memphis, Tennessee with its grand hotels and down 'n dirty blues clubs, the play profiles six bawdy and irreverent characters clinging to their dreams of freedom and movement as they each come to terms with the price of always wanting more.
