Andrea's Got Two Boyfriends

Synopsis:
Narrated by their teacher/counselor, Tom, the action of the play centers on the daily lives of three mentally retarded adults who are residents at Crystal Park, a self-help facility in upstate New York. Andrea, the natural leader of the group, was a child prodigy in music who now barks orders at her fellow inmates; FrEddie, who fancies himself a lady-killer, carries a Club Med folder in his pocket and frequently tries to sneak off to the bus station with thoughts of some fantasy destination in mind; while Richie, the more gentle and withdrawn of the three, wonders why his family has cut off contact with him. Comprised of a series of revealing episodes-some wildly funny, some gently moving-which are commented on by the patient, empathetic Tom (who is, however, reaching the point of "burnout" in his demanding, emotionally wringing position), the play centers on the competition between FrEddie and Richie for Andrea's attention and concern and, in the end, provides an eloquent, affecting explanation of why, in their special, oddly remote world, Andrea can, and even must, have two boyfriends.

This Is Not A Real Pipe

This Is Not A Real Pipe
A famous French statesman reminiscent of Dominique Strauss-Kahn finds himself alone with a cleaning lady in his New York hotel room. Various possible scenarios ensue, none of which may be the real "pipe." The gears of class, race and gender disparities grind away in this prismatic comedy-drama of epic proportions -- a signature tale for our times.

Winter Wedding

Synopsis:
the play is a metaphysical farce about a conflict in an Israeli family between a wedding and a funeral. Winter Wedding starts out with a deathbed promise. Right before Latshek Boobitshek's mother, Alteh, dies, she challenges her son to make sure there are family members at her funeral. He vows to deliver a tight, unified family circle. the problem is, Alteh's only relatives are her cousins, who are marrying off their daughter, Velvetsia, tomorrow. Alteh's funeral would conflict with an enterprise that has been delicately planned and cost them many precious years of scrimping and saving ("Four hundred guests, eight hundred roast chickens - in the garbage!"). If they never hear of the funeral, they won't have to go, so the cousins spend the play eluding the news of their Aunt's death by evading their grieving relative.
