Synopsis: "Listen", is the powerful, dramatic story of Nadine Roberts, a young farm wife in the deeply religious South, who disappears from her farmhouse one day without warning, is brutalized and left for dead. When she is found in a farmers field, naked and alone, miles away from her small community, badly hurt and unable or unwilling to recount to anyone what has really happened to her, too many half-truths and outright lies are suddenly assumed. As rumors abound, her fear and inability to cope takes over and her life and the lives of her family and community are changed forever. She feels she must find a way to save her husband and her children from the painful truth but the fear and her religion paralyzes her, until one day she realizes what she must do to make it all end.

However, she is suddenly sidetracked during her quest when she meets Jake P. Little, bartender and philosopher extraordinaire, and begins to question what's important in her life. These two strangers take a funny, yet poignant journey from painful past to new beginnings filled with music, dance, passion and love.

Notes: A simple set for the fading days of a once prominent bar with the center focus on an old jukebox. The side scenes should be done without going to black but by incorporating set movers as vendors, maids, slot machines etc., thereby keeping the play in constant motion.

Notes: The setting is an old rooming house in Augusta, GA in the early 1960's and side scenes on an Army base.
Synopsis: Laura Randall is far too young to have lived through so much pain, so she creates a fantasy world of make believe and art where she can escape from the real world, which is too cruel. She tries desperately to draw her husband into her "prince charming" and her life bright with happiness instead of sorrow, but when it all starts falling apart around her, she must face the truth and fight back in order to survive. With the help of her eccentric neighbors, Mitzi & Louella, she finds the courage to do just that.
