Falling Grace

Synopsis:
Falling Grace is a small-town family Drama with strong mystical elements. Grace goes sky diving with her fiance and inexplicably survives a fall after her chutes fail to open. the parish priest comes calling, talking of miracles. A neighbor asks Grace to lay hands on her and cure her cancer. Spooked, and with her emotions are in turmoil, Grace refuses to see the hand of God in any of it. Each character brings different points of view to the question of her survival; from faith to rationalism via pragmatism and skepticism. This play treats religion not in a sectarian way or as fundamentalism, but as simply the effect an extraordinary occurrence can have on ordinary people.

Freefall

Synopsis:
What do you do when you've finally had enough? What do you say to someone who not only won't play by the rules but refuses to even play the game?One day, a white-collar worker named Joe got a migraine headache and called in sick to work. He never returned - nor did he call, write, fax, send e-mail a telegram or send up a flare. Finally, to see what has happened, Joe's office mate and friend Dennis arrives at Joe's apartment. Dennis discovers Joe in bathrobe and flip flops luxuriating in a sea of empty bottles and pizza boxes. Joe has happily decided to quit everything and enjoy "quality time all the time." FREE FALL is a twisted little comedy that tracks what happens when a man who has decided not to care must deal with one who still does - a battle between common sense and a deeper human need for something more.

Get Stuffed

Synopsis:
When Marty Evans was a seven year old boy, he and his oversized stuffed bear Furball were inseparable - they talked about everything. But when Marty got older, he became embarrassed by his attachment to the bear and Furball was exiled to the attic. It wasn't until after college, while searching the attic for things for his new apartment that Marty rediscovered and rescued his old friend. Soon, it's just like old times with Marty talking to Furball - and the bear talking back. Of course, Marty is the only one who can hear Furball talk. GET STUFFED mixes fantasy and realism to examine our need to communicate -- including the things we shouldn't say and the ways we shouldn't say them - as well as our need for acceptance, love and a place to belong we call home regardless of what others think

Last Night At the Owl Bar

Synopsis:
Last Night at the Owl Bar employs direct audience address, actors playing multiple characters and even stand-up comedy to tell the story of Jonathan Caldwell, a theatre director who is having trouble directing his own life. In an effort to gain control, Jonathan takes "side trips" in his mind to Afghanistan, Mayberry RFD, Paris and Alaska, relying on the audience's imagination to create each location via projected images and sound and light cues.

Like White On Rice

Synopsis:
Ten minutes of cliches might not seem to amount to much. But Scharf's singular achievement is that, using everything from worn-out pick-up lines ("What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?") to threadbare quotations from sources as wide-ranging as Alcoholics Anonymous and Shakespeare, he succeeds in establishing a fleeting romantic triangle between a young woman (Cindy Spearman) in a bar and the two men (C. Dan Bursi and Jerry Gietka) who are competing to pick her up.

Mean Reds, The

Synopsis:
the Mean Reds is a bittersweet "Dramady" written as an ensemble piece. the play takes place on Mike Drennon's birthday, a normally happy occasion that Mike would prefer to ignore because he's in the grip of the Mean Reds. In this condition he's depressed, quite cranky, and very vocally temperamental - he's prone to go off on a rant at the slightest provocation. the cause of his condition is Rose, Mike's alcoholic wife of sixteen years. Mike has raised the kids, cleaned and managed the house, nursed her through binges and finally gotten her into a recovery program. In gratitude, Rose has taken the kids and left him for Ritchie, another recovering addictive personality who can "relate to where she is because he's been there himself." Attempting to cajole Mike out of the Mean Reds are Mike's mother, Caroline, a family court judge; his best friend, Greg; Greg's girlfriend Mary Jo; and Faith, an old girlfriend from happier times. An impromptu birthday party instigated to lighten Mike's mood veers off target

Memory Garden

Synopsis:
Do you ever wonder about the story behind the roadside crosses and memorials you pass by while driving? Who the person was and how they lost their life? And what happens to those that remain behind? In MEMORY GARDEN, Angie is a young widow with two small daughters who devotes herself to maintaining a roadside memorial where her husband lost his life. She has become such a familiar sight that neighbors beep their horns to say hello as they pass. When a man claiming to be a reporter stops to get her story, Angie unexpectedly finds the answers to her unanswered questions about what happened on that terrible day. MEMORY GARDEN examines how we deal with the anger, longing and confusion brought about by loss -- and the ways in which we try to hang on to and let go of the past in order to keep living

Tall Girls, The

Synopsis:
he Tall Girls takes place in Poor Prairie - the dusty, desolate town where fifteen-and-a-half-year-old Jean has been exiled as caretaker for her wild-child cousin, Almeda. It's a grim, dangerous place to eke out an existence as a teenage girl - until a handsome man with a past arrives, a brand-new basketball in tow. As the town's girls come together to form a team set on making it out of Poor Prairie, a murky committee of townspeople threatens to stamp out girls' sports altogether. Inspired by the flourishing and decline of high school girls' basketball teams in the 1930s rural Midwest, The Tall Girls asks: Who can afford the luxury of play? And what is the cost of childhood?
