The fictional equivalents of Rosie the Riveter, Betty Crocker, Betty Boop, Barbie, and Aunt Jemima make up a five-piece plate collection being hawked on the daytime shopping channel, Impulse Buying At Home. As each plate is introduced, the adorning icon speaks volumes about America, the universal condition, and the efforts women have made to effectively change society for the better. | |||||

Synopsis: | In Miss Palmer's School of Penmanship And Civil Behavior, Vidalia Palmer believes that the decline of civility in America is linked to the decline of our national handwriting. She addresses a class of "civility offenders" who have been ordered by the Civility Justice System to learn proper penmanship as part of their social rehabilitation. Miss Palmer's teaching methods, however, are anything but traditional. Worlds collide when an ill-mannered Congressman advocates for the elimination of cursive instruction, and Miss Palmer is forced to see the handwriting on the wall. Ultimately, a wounded war veteran who understands the link between handwriting and civil behavior, guides Miss Palmer toward her next calling. | |||||

Synopsis: | Rules of the Lake is a semi-autobiographical one-person play about growing up on a lake in "pre-Disney" Florida in the 1960's. The playwright's alter ego, Annie, recounts a Florida childhood as a mermaid wanna-be. Guided by her father's lake rules (No Swimming Alone, No Diving in Unknown Waters, etc.), Annie is driven by an obsessive desire to breathe underwater, believing it to be the key to becoming a mermaid. Throughout the play, Widow Lake shimmers with changeable symbolism--sometimes as Annie's haven from worldly problems, sometimes as an unfathomably dangerous place--but always offering a psychological reflection of Annie's coming of age. | |||||
