Synopsis: | A plumber, Tom Fahey, father of seven children and owner of a newly built above-ground swimming pool, comes to unplug the sink in a summer home inhabited by Valerie Marino. Valerie, whose husband has mysteriously disappeared, stalks her prey ferocious-ly, seductively piercing his defenses, probing beyond the boundaries of human decency. The play plunges through the hell of the American dream and leaves its victim, the whistling plumber, depleted, and Valerie, all smiles but with a questionable victory. | |||||

Synopsis: | Katy Valentine and Alex Ainbinder meet in a museum in New York City on Christmas Eve where Katy obsessively sketches a painting done by a former lover. Alex, a depressive and obsessive personality, who says "The day I find Out I don't have cancer-that's a good day" all but stands on his head to get Katy's attention. He succeeds in destroying her faith in the artist and she succeeds in destroying the painting, but they still don't go off together, much as they long for some kind of connection. The truth is elusive in this play and Katy, who claims to be a former Rockette says I don't know if this true. I make up lots of things. But one truth is clear, Katy and Alex cannot make this relationship happen-Christmas Eve, alone and all. A play about missed connections. | |||||

Synopsis: | Jeremy is the only child of the King and Queen of a mythical kingdom. The people of Jamboreen, including his mother and father and the villainous Lord Jackal, all agree that Jeremy is not the brightest of princes, and poor Jeremy is of the same opinion. Yet as soon as FG, his fairy godmother, gives him a thinking machine for his birthday he turns into a kind of genius. But wait: does his thinking machine require batteries, or does it not? Will he be able to rescue his mother and defy his evil uncle? In a rousing conclusion Jeremy receives another, greater gift - self-confidence. With twelve easy songs and a running time of about one hour this will prove a delightful entertainment for young people. | |||||

Synopsis: | Jennie Ames, a twenty-nine-year-old teacher from Pepperell, Mass. comes to a statuary factory in a torn-down area of Charlestown to get a statue of Christopher Columbus for a local play. She encounters Roberto Da Fralizzi, forty-five, the statue maker, who is confronted with the shifting values of his neighborhood and the church which no longer buys statues, but only love beads and guitars. Jennie finds not the statue but an openness in Roberto which encourages the same in her, culminating ins frenetic game of statues which promises a beginning, a connection, a coming to life for both. | |||||
