Harps & Harmonicas

Synopsis:
Leopard skin bras. Cosmopolitians. Tattoos. these are just a few of the surprises CYNTHIA (62) encounters in this provocative, coming-of-age play for seniors. Since she was 16, Cynthia has lead a calm, sheltered, orderly life with Philip, the only man she ever kissed. On the other hand, her daughter's best friend MADDIE (34), has lived a looser, wilder, more harrowing life. When the two take a Road Trip together, 1950s morals slam head-on into the realities of life in today's world. Along the way Maddie teaches Cynthia to thank a stranger at a bar for a drink, to wear a sexy bra to get through a hard day and to use her "feminine charm" to bend rules. Throughout the trip, Cynthia's daughter KATE (34) is at home in Chicago, forced to watch the antics long-distance, until Maddie inadvertently spills Kate's deepest secret. As the rift between Maddie and Kate widens, the rocky relationship between Maddie and Cynthia deepens into an odd affection.

Silent Heroes

Synopsis:
Set shortly after the end of the Vietnam War, the wives of six Marine Corps aviators have gathered in the night after hearing that one of the base's jet fighters has crashed. the Corps has offered no comfort or information, but the women know that one of their husbands isn't coming home. Silent Heroes deals with women's rights, race relations, family, war and peace, and the tenuous social structure that enables military wives to cope with the constant fear that their husbands' lives, and their futures, could end suddenly
