Cartoon
Join the exploits of a band of mismatched cartoon stereotypes on a wild ride through this animated world, Presented in the style of a Commedia dell'Arte scenario gone berserk, Cartoon is a devilishly violent social commentary that explores the rapid coalescence of media, politics and consumer giants. A young, idealistic upstart named Trouble steals the giant hammer that Esther, the bratty dictator, uses to maintain a monotonous but peaceful order. Chaos ensues. Bombs explode. Puppets are set free. Anime girls fight. And as the bodies pile up, the violence begins to creep off the stage and into the audience. There's nothing like a punch in the face to really get the blood moving.

Octopus
A love story rendered through a post-modern gay lens, this play examines the fallout of one night of lust on four men. By inviting another couple into the bedroom, Kevin and Blake's fledgling relationship enters a crucible of risk and jealousy, compounded by the appearance of a mysterious telegram delivery boy and a ravenous sea monster from the ocean floor.

Synopsis:
Lust takes center stage in a take-no-prisoners exploration of want and fidelity. Five people find out what happens when desire eclipses common sense, sex is confused with love and identity is slowly overtaken by a creeping, unforgiving weakness. These tensions eventual push some characters to literally split in two. This voyeuristic jaunt is intended for adult audiences only.
