Synopsis: When Ethan is born in the worst blizzard of the century two-year-old sister Ainsley nearly sacrifices a toe trying to clear a path for the baby's arrival. That initial gesture of devotion blossoms into a tale of sibling loyalty rivalry and love that spans two decades. Inspired by Joan Ackermann's narrative "Back Story" each of the eighteen playwrights in this collective creation puts a distinctive spin on Ainsley's and Ethan's amusing and poignant struggles with life with each other and with the phantom dad who abandoned them for the wilds of Alaska

Synopsis: In a Holiday Inn in romantic St. Augustine, Florida, two estranged sisters travel unlikely journeys as they struggle to regain their bearings after the loss of their much-loved third sister. One talks, the other doesn't. Their efforts at redefining themselves and their relationship are both poignant and humorous. A dashing conquistador, a lost suitcase, a bellhop with a barnacle growing in his ear are but a few of the many surprising turns in this unusual and very moving story

Synopsis: If a poem is written in the woods but no one reads it  does it make a sound? In this touching period comedy, a beautiful poetess dwells in idyllic obscurity on a Berkshire estate with a band of unlikely cohorts, including an Irish cook, an aging butler and an unlikely playmate. When neighbor Edith Wharton passes Sarahs poems on to a Boston publishing firm, editor Peter Woodburn comes calling. But Sarah is a poet who refuses to publish, challenging Woodburns notions of possession and success, art and passion. Sparks fly when this unlikely pair faces off and all get caught in the crossfire.

Synopsis: On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the car, the play examines the emotional landscape we roam as we travel in our cars. Control, navigation, love and escape, are some of the themes explored. A protective father shepherds his son through the neighborhood on Halloween; an actor on his way to perform Hamlet provokes a rear-end collision and confrontation with a Czech émigré cab driver; a devastated businessman strikes up an unlikely alliance with a homeless woman who sleeps in his car. This is the landscape of human frailty and vulnerability, charm and strength; a playwright's whimsy combined with a shrewd sense of observation

Synopsis: Bo Groden looks back on the summer when she was eleven years old and everything changed. Serving as narrator, she sifts through the memories of an unusual childhood spent in the wilds of northern New Mexico where her enterprising parents forged a rich life off the land and the local dump. Desperate to escape as a child, longing for modern amenities and normalcy, now she yearns to go back. This is the summer when Charley, her father, spiraled into depression. Usually able to build and fix anything, he is unable to fix himself, but the family carries on, thanks in large part to the earthy strength of Arlene, Bo's resourceful mother. George, Charley's lifelong friend, offers watercolors and silence. Lonely for her father's companionship, Bo amuses herself by writing letters for free samples and praying for a miracle to deliver her from a mother who gardens in the nude and a father who cannot stop weeping. The miracle arrives in the form of William Gibbs, a displaced IRS agent who arrives in a fever and never lea

Synopsis: Things fall apart, wrote William Butler Yeats--and he never worked on a car! When their Volvo conks out in the wilds of Missouri, a Chicago doctor and her stepdaughter-to-be find themselves stranded in a repair shop for broken hearts. Ex-husbands and estranged wives drive in for emotional tune-ups, and the women from Chicago become mechanics of their own destiny--in a high octane comedy that proves, "Things also fall together."
