Notes:
This play was created collaboratively, it was written by Claytie Mason, Beth Hersh, Alissa Mortenson, Brynna Jourden and Joy Brooke Fairfield. "Nebunele's "Moon" shines. . .The characters draw us into their world and keep us there. Although the story deals with family dysfunction and death, its serious subject matter is generously sprinkled with heart and humor, which is often physical and always entertaining."-Steve Clare, The Examiner
Synopsis:
Cussing at the Moon is the story of three estranged adult sisters who come together after one of them makes a surprising and ill-fated leap from the Aurora Bridge, landing in a coma at Harborview Medical Center. The investigation of these rather eccentric women, the dynamics of their familial relationships, and the patchwork faith that constitute their very individual spirituality takes them from the hospital room to the surreal internal world of a coma patient and back again. This play was created collaboratively, it was written by Claytie Mason, Beth Hersh, Alissa Mortenson, Brynna Jourden and Joy Brooke Fairfield.

Notes:
written by Claytie Mason and Alissa Mortenson. The Secret Ruths of Island House won Best New Play' at the San Francisco Fringe Festival in 2006 and 'Pick of the Fringe' at the Boulder Fringe Festival the same year. ". . .it's a devilishly clever rethinking of the classic, with the seeds of this repressed, asexualized Corinth's destruction sown not in myth or fate but in the unfettered curiosity of Creon's teenage daughter (a radiant Davie-Blue crooning a fraught "I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry")." - Rob Hurwitt, SF Chronicle
Synopsis:
Medea Knows Best is Euripides' classic tragedy reconceived to explore gender roles, relationships, and the power of unreasoning faith through the lens of a 1950's television show. A doo-wop chorus leads the way on this imaginative and whimsical adventure.

Notes:
It is based on the Irish ballad of the same title and was created in collaboration with concert violinist Rebecca Jackson, visual artist Molly Millar, and physical performers Brynna Jourden and Jenna Bean Veatch. It was written and directed by Claytie Mason. "In the hands of writer-director Claytie Mason and her crew, the drama is as concentrated, melodic and hauntingly elusive as the traditional Irish ballad on which it's based. . ."- Rob Hurwitt, SF Chronicle
Synopsis:
The Wind and Rain is about two sisters coming of age in a small mill town and the erosion of their very close relationship when they both fall in love with the same boy. It is also the story of a mysterious stranger with a fiddle made of bones and a river that can't be tamed.
