Synopsis: | Sonny, the monkey, is a terrorist about to blow up a human laboratory to protect the world from a thermonuclear war. Brown Spot, the Dog, who loves Sonny but who still feels his deep sense of loyalty to humans, who aren't loyal to him, tries to stop Sonny's sacrifice-suicide. But on the night before Sonny acts out his belief that only violence brings about change, a large white puppet appears at the door and speaks gibberish. Sonny's plot has been discovered by humans. This is an ironic twist that asks us to turn our human thinking upside down and see the world through an animal's eyes. Monkey Adored is a delightful piece about a terrifying subject-nuclear holocaust. | |||||

Synopsis: | Beyond the end of the word, where trees are dying and sunlight must not be allowed to touch human skin, three teenaged boys survive by reinventing a culture they never really knew. They cling to the shreds of civility by playing Daddy, Mommy and Junior, but the game has worn quite thin. And just when it seems that things can't get any worse, a stranger arrives with a terrible secret that changes everything. Named one of the ten best plays of 2009 by LA Weekly, TREEFALL is a tragicomic exploration of gender identity and the meaning of family. | |||||
