Crazy Ladies

Synopsis:
Pamela Browne has organized a 25 year reunion for her four best High School friends. From the moment Kay, now a chocoholic gun toting funeral director, arrives the wheels begin falling off Pamela's meticulously planned weekend. Added to the mix is Sandy, who is now a nun, Dianne, married to the school nerd and a mother of eight sons, Rachel, a runaway teenager on a mission to dig up some dirt on her mother and Shaun, the greasy motel janitor. This outrageous comedy is a rollercoaster ride of emotion.

Lost For Words

Synopsis:
For the past 25 years Edwin Miles has been an announcer for classic Music FM.

Add to the mix a mute receptionist and Lost for Words is a side splitting comedy that will have you rolling in the aisles.

My Inlaws are Outlaws

Synopsis:
Annie discovers her in-laws are outlaws. . .and her mother in-law has hired a mad group of assassins to kill her! How will Annie, a mild mannered Librarian, outwit the best of the Italian, Russian and Irish contract killers? This is outrageous; laugh out loud comedy at its best. Devon Williamson's play is a highly entertaining observation on family relationships infused with Williamson's usual wit and keen sense of the ridiculous, while also remaining insightful and at time disarmingly poignant.
