Synopsis: | Somewhere amidst the cracked asphalt and overgrown weeds on the highway to nowhere is Miss Hope's, a small-town diner where wistful wannabes with half-forgotten dreams meet, mingle and tell their stories. Consisting of three timeless tales with more than a little laughter, tears, irony and a pinch of The Twilight Zone, and told against the backdrop of the presidential inaugurations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Miss Hope's is written by Jack Karp, Alisha Silver and Joseph Samuel Wright of the Nylon Fusion Writers Collective. Everyone comes to Miss Hope's Diner, the place people end up when they have nowhere left to go. Prom queens and football heroes, school teachers and businessmen, housewives suffocated by their well-ordered lives, young people trying to come to terms with their sexuality, the ones who couldn't make it in the big city, those who still want to try and an old man who has seen all this happen over and over again. Miss Hope's is where plans for the future become a march from innocence, where passing through temptation can lead to either vice or virtue, and where broken promises come from broken dreams. | |||||

Synopsis: | Set in a three-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, Paper Dragon looks at the unspoken feelings between a close circle of friendsall members of what one of them calls "the servant class." There's Walter and his younger sister Ronnie, a lesbian hairdresser; her best friend Eleanor, and Bot, Ronnie's current main squeeze. Bot, who doesn't get along with Eleanor, is furious that her married girlfriend is being deported to Canada. Walter pops pills to ease the pain of his all-too real dreams. He's also talking with his brother Andy's girlfriend, for who he feels much more than friendship, about Andy's obsession with origami; an art form where, once a piece of paper is creased, it can never be uncreasedjust like life. And there's a flasher who lives next door. Over the course of the play, these people will come together and pull apart, all in the name of love, desire and need for contact. As one of the characters quietly pleads: "Pick me." | |||||
