3 Guys in Drag Selling their Stuff

3 Guys in Drag Selling their Stuff
Diva, Lillian, and Tink (three men in drag) are having a yard sale to raise funds for a Faberge egg in which to place the ashes of Diva's dead husband. Diva bosses Lillian, whose principal expertise is making punch with ingredients that could fuel a rocket. Tink is confined to a wheelchair, mostly comatose, but when she does try to make herself heard, the others invariably misunderstand, causing dire consequences. the miscommunications of this misfit trio cause a friend to be run over by a pickup truck while trying to cross the street with her walker. We meet an entire neighborhood of characters through the eyes of the "ladies" during the course of their yard sale, including Diva's mother who has the yard wired with eavesdropping devices and is listening in from her room in a nursing home across the street. Finally, in an explosive climax, the day's shenanigans result in a police shootout when someone plays with a starter pistol filled with blanks.

Edward Crosby Wells Is Alive And Well And Living In the the Venus Arms

Edward Crosby Wells Is Alive And Well And Living In the the Venus Arms
This black comedy features the playwright himself. Spiritless, Wells is threatened by the night manager of the Venus Arms, a residential hotel, with permanent dispossession, leaving an empty,'though very animated body. Four literati arrive to perform an "inorcism" (as opposed to an exorcism) to restore Wells's spirit. Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas along with Oscar Wilde and Marcel Proust raise havoc while trying to raise the consciousness of the subject of their inorcism in this fun-filled, clever and very diabolical farce. And Franz Kafka, the night manager, keeps popping up in the form of a cockroach seemingly intent on the playwright's doom. WARNING - Read at your own risk. Or, you could find yourself possessed and living in the Venus Arms - permanently !

Flowers Out Of Season

Flowers Out Of Season
Quite simply the best unsolicited manuscript I have ever read. It throws together sex, religion and suicide in a fresh, original and transcendent way . . . I stopped paying attention to character, plot, dialogue etc. and just turned the pages to see how it would come out . . . I think I have just seen the future of American theatre. It reminds one of young Albee (if he had written about sex and religion in the Southwest). While there is nothing formally or stylistically new . . . it charts what seems to me totally uncharted territory. It concerns a couple who, in desperate financial and religious straits, decide to commit suicide so their children can go on. In Act One the husband kills the wife (while singing Here She Comes" from the Miss America contest) and then in Act Two the husband, BUCK, goes out and finds a woman who - after one of the most sensual, exciting "sex scenes" I've ever read - is persuaded to kill him. As a plot alone, this is fascinating. But it is carried off in a thrillingly theatrical manner . . . ". Michael Bourne, then an intern at Circle Repertory Company in NYC, wrote the above as part of his script evaluation in May, 1987

Tough Cookies

Tough Cookies
Set in the formerly oil-rich desert Southwest, this play explores the lives of two generations of women living under one roof. the story centers on Jo who, after her Father dies, takes in her feisty mother. the dialogue between them and with a long-time neighbor is, at once, outrageously funny and heart-breakingly tragic. these women tear and rip into each other's psyche with reckless abandon and something barely resembling love. the cookies in question may or may not be poisoned, but just beneath the surface these women hide a more potent poison-the deadly venom accumulated over years of unfulfilled dreams mixed with the sudden and bitter acceptance of a life unrealized. If you like your tragedies hystErically funny then take a bite of this.

West Texas Massacre

West Texas Massacre
Marsha is the Queen of a West Texas community theatre. With her, it is always about Marsha - Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! Marsha is having an affair with Doctor Hal. Marsha's husband, Mike, is having an affair with Alyson. Alyson, Botoxed and liposuctioned, is the pretender to the Queen's throne. Is Bill the teacher having an affair with one of his students? Marsha's world is filled with intrigue, back-stabbing, secret board meetings and double-dealings. We learn all about the actors and their diabolical plots as they perform Massacre at Dirty Gulch, a rootin'-tootin' old-time meloDrama, written, directed and starring none other than - Marsha! Marsha plays Mary Holiday whose illegitimate daughter is abducted by Indians. the Indian Princess Desert Flower, played by Alyson, sheds her feathers and we discover her to be none other than Mean Mabel Wiggens, the She-Scourge of the West. Marsha's husband plays Bad Bart Blackey who is in cahoots with Mean Mabel. Marsha's daughter plays Mary's daughter who returns to be reunited with her mother after many years of back-aching work in a house of ill repute. Was it the Bible or a bullet that done-in Madam Lillie? the two meloDramas quickly become intermingled with enough devious-doings to curl the moustache on Fu Manchu. And then, of course, there is a massacre. Oh, what bloody fun!
