Synopsis:
Relationships come and go, but BOOK CLUB will always be there. In the case of an ultra queen bee, Ana, a book club can take on such a life of its own that it is the ultimate life experience. Ana is so conniving and controlling that she'd rather bite off her own foot than permit an 'unvetted' newbie to join the book club. As the characters explain, the Book Club is the ultimate safe harbor, the steady and secure tried and true spot to clear your mind by delving into the words, expressions and worlds of the masters - writers.

Synopsis:
Legacy of Light is an intellectual joyride from start to finish that confronts a universal question: How do women balance a passionate yearning for science with maternal instinct? Playwright Karen Zacarias takes two women, living 260 years apart, and juxtaposes their tragicomic stories of survival and immortality. Commissioned by Arena Stage and buoyantly directed by Molly Smith, Zacarias, doing her finest writing to date with Legacy of Light, equates the laws of physical science with human love and uses magical realism in some dreamlike moments to draw together her serendipitous stories.

Notes:
Book and Lyrics by Karen Zacarias . Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma
Synopsis:
Do You Remember Where You Were&? When you heard about 9/11? When space shuttle Columbia crashed? When JFK was assassinated? Most people remember where they were when pivotal events in history occurred. And like any other Pittsburgher, I remember when I learned in 1972 of the passing of our local hero, Roberto Clemente. Even kids like me who were not into sports, knew something about them as Pittsburgh takes its sports seriously. And the tragic death of one of the greatest athletes to play in Pittsburgh affected everyone in our sports-centric town. It is such universality that makes Looking for Roberto Clemente such a grand slam and provides a little something for everyone.
