Synopsis: | Deep in the Amazonian jungle lurks a tribe of Indians; the Kreen-Ankra, who have never been seen by civilized man and have never met another person they have not killed. A small group of intrepid (and eccentric) English explorers and their native Indian ser-vant have camped in the Kreen-Ankra's only remaining garden in an attempt to starve them out of hiding before they are exterminated by the onslaught of civilization. | |||||

Synopsis: | A portrait of a middle-class American Irish-Catholic family. The two youngest children, twenty-eight-year-old Jimmie (who never quite manages to leave home) and twenty-two-year-old Sharon (who always comes back), anxiously seize any excuse to avoid coping with the stagnancy of their lives while the entire family does its best to cope with the unpredictable behavior of the patriarch of the clan, the senescent Dan O'Grady. The major metaphor of the play is beer and it flows freely-especially when the entire family gathers to celebrate Dan's birthday. | |||||

Synopsis: | The Stardust Burlesque-a local institution on what was once the hottest strip in town-has been killed by a local zoning quirk; the restaurant next door has become a church and it is illegal to operate a bawdy house within ninety yards of a church. An attempt at a nostalgic closing night fails miserably as the denizens of the Stardust are subjected to a series of urban in-dignities culminating in a bungled holdup. | |||||
