Back Story

Synopsis:
When Fthan is born in the worst blizzard of the century, two-year-old sister Ainsley nearly sacrifices a toe trying to clear a path for the baby's arrival. That initial gesture of devotion blossoms into a tale of sibling loyalty, rivalry and love that spans two decades. Inspired by Joan Ackermann's narrative "Back Story," each of the eighteen playwrights in this collective creation puts a distinctive spin on Ainsley's and Fthan?s amusing and poignant struggles with life, with each other, and with the phantom dad who abandoned them for the wilds of Alaska

Old Lady's Guide To Survival

Synopsis:
A very independent old lady, Netty is surviving quite nicely, thank-you, until her eyesight fails. Pragmatically, Netty adopts the not-quite-so independent old lady Shprintzy as a surrogate pair of eyes but gets more than she bargained for. This honest portrait of aging considers the balance between self and selfishness, dependence and connection
