Synopsis: | When Friday, November 22, 1963, comes to an end, John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, and Police Officer J.D. Tippit both lie dead in Dallas. Amidst the chaos that ensues, an evasive Lee Harvey Oswald is arrested and becomes the number one suspect. It is the job of Captain William Fritz to extract a confession. As evidence mounts, defiance is Oswald's only defense. Based on the bristling and explosive actual interrogation of Lee Harvey Oswald by Dallas Chief of Homicide Captain William J. Fritz, what unfolds in Oswald is one of the most engrossing battles ever brought to the stage, as a defiant 24 year-old, tight-lipped young man goes up against the best homicide detective the Dallas Police Department has to offer. There was no stenographer and no film or audio tapes of those interrogations, just handwritten notes by Fritz. Forty eight hours and seven minutes after the President of the United States was shot and killed, there was another shot in Dallas. That shot was for Lee Harvey Oswald. | |||||

Synopsis: | Playwright Dennis Richard says he was hit by the idea of turning the 1987 Maryland train collision between Amtrak train 94, (the Colonial from Washington, D.C. en route to Boston) and a set of Conrail locomotives in his sleep. Wreck's story is set in motion by the worst train disaster in American history at the time, a crash that left fourteen people dead and cast a shadow over one of the train's crews. Investigation and conviction resulted in the Conrail engineer, who tested positive for marijuana, serving four years in jail. A dramatic comedy full of intrigue, Wreck's story revolves around two key playersthe engineer, Dalton, who has just been released from prison, and Uncle Max. | |||||
