Top of PageLost and Found in the Underground
Synopsis:
LOST AND FOUND IN THE UNDERGROUND is a rhythmic riff on history, as told through the language of sex, love, politics, and the power of the imagination. Set in an America of the not too distant future, a segregated people are forced to exist in The Underground. In a world divided between those permitted to live above and those driven below, a woman known only as Tub Woman is the missing link. Banished to Dick Tator's laundry room backhouse, Tub Woman's ties to the past have landed her in a kind of purgatory. While she is forever lost to the world, she is also barred from seeing her own daughter, the ever-optimistic Osun. Dick Tator's re-election bid sets forth an underground revolution. While the population seems to grow overnight, a fictional anthology, Tales from The Underground, turns into a cult hit. When Dick Tator begins to put two and two together, he starts to dig around. And sure enough, when one starts digging, one is never quite certain what he or she will find. Haunted by the past, Dick Tator begins to see the cracks in his own foundation, as Osun seeks to learn the true nature of hers.

Top of PageTurtle Soup
Synopsis:
TURTLE SOUP features two slack-jawed country boys, Hank and Enos, who may or may not be brothers in a place where they may or may not know where they are. Blessed and cursed with a never-ending sack of soup cans, and not much else, the men vow to stay right where they are until Ma comes to find them. The only problem is, Ma may very well have been the one who left them there.
