Synopsis: | 800 Words: The Transmigration of Philip K. Dick is a reinvention of the last few days of Philip K. Dick, the science fiction author, who had religious visions in 1974 when an extraterrestrial God appeared to him, communicating with artificial intelligence. Based on a true story, the play begins just as Philip's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is to be released as the Hollywood film Blade Runner. Using theatrical transformations, the play is structured so that memories and events bleed into each other, fusing and merging in Philip's internal landscape. He weaves in and out of reality until there is no discerning what really happened in February of 1974. 800 Words: The Transmigration of Philip K. Dick is about God, art, madness, time, fiction and reality. | |||||

Synopsis: | The Last Scene concerns the 1949 film shoot of In a Lonely Place, a Humphrey Bogart vehicle directed by Nick Ray, the director who would later rise to fame as the director of Rebel Without a Cause. The play is based on a true premise, that Nick Ray shot two endings to the film, and that his primary motivation was to resolve and end his marriage to Gloria Grahame, his estranged wife and the female star of the picture. In the process of recording "reality," Nick finds himself trying to control and revise it as he makes choices in his art that alter the course of his life. The Last Scene, although telling a story about film, is intensely theatrical, showing the audience the ever-changing perspectives that contribute to the creation process. | |||||

Synopsis: | Nightwatches, based on the Cupid and Psyche myth, is a dark erotic tale of intoxicating sensuality, forbidden passion, and love. In the early 1900s, Mary joins Stephen in a marriage of convenience to help him run his family's farm. As she gets closer to uncovering Stephen's past, including what really happened to his first wife, Mary comes to realize that there are secrets that should never be revealed and boundaries that should never be crossed--even in the privacy of the bedroom. The play seeks to lift the veil on the sex lives of people living in a very repressed, puritanical culture. The piece explores gender politics and has particular resonance in our current culture of conservative backlash | |||||
