Synopsis: | The hopefully and often poignant full-length, one-act play Fallout tells the story of a 45-year-old writer Michael's struggle to recover from losing his wife to the throes of mental illness. It's told in three scenes - a date that goes awry; an appeal to a hard-nosed self-center best friend; and a dinner with a mother; who's convinced she can dictate happiness. Fallout is about the power of loss and the enduring impact of memories "so harrowing they are burned into the souls with power that defies time. | |||||

Synopsis: | Set in a hospital emergency room, the play examines a 30-something man suffering of chest pains, and the young female resident assigned to "take his chart." Not all is what meets the eye in this drama which challenges the medical convention to always "hold the middle ground" and remain dispassionate. | |||||

Synopsis: | In this comedic drama, Teddy Morgan and Laura Morgan are two forty-somethings with two teen-age daughters. Teddy thinks everything is wrong with their relationship. Laura thinks everything is fine - if Teddy would just stop complaining. That's putting it too nicely. If he would just 'shut up.' Their therapist is fed up with both them and sentences them to take 'separate vacations.' Some marital therapists believe the two most valuable words in a relationship are 'I need' or 'I want.' Anyone who's been in a long-term relationship knows the truth; they are often the most dangerous words. Call it the tyranny of two! | |||||

Synopsis: | This story follows a late 40's 'empty nest' couple who are awaiting a doctor's return call to confirm whether or not they are pregnant - though neither can remember the last time they had sex.
