Synopsis: | Don't Fear the Reaper follows a day in the life of the Grim Reaper-the day he gets fired. On his first gig of the morning, he's spotted on the doorstep of a young married couple. The husband and wife each decide that it must be the other one's time, and through a series of passive-aggressive strategies they each attempt to lure their partner onto the doorstep, until they learn the important lesson that throwing one's spouse to the Reaper isn't the American way. Next on the Reaper's list is Steve. Steve's soul seems like a routine reaping at first but ultimately presents a problem unseen for 40,000 years. In his mediocrity, Steve has reached a perfect balance on the scale of good and evil and must choose his own fate on The Fating Game, where God and Satan vie for his soul. As day turns to night, the Reaper meets with God in His office and learns that-due to certain people ending up in the wrong afterlife-it is time to turn over his scythe to the new Reaper, Jeremy (formerly the grim reaper of insects). Insisting that people should be able to die with a little compassion and sympathy, the Reaper steals the scythe and goes rogue. Cornered by God, Satan, Jeremy and his wife, the Reaper is forced to decide whether he should go quietly or take the world down with him. Two int. sets | |||||

Synopsis: | Video gaming, comic book reading, 30 year old, Devin McCormack, has just been awarded a 12 million dollar settlement. Liberated from his grueling day job, Devin finally gets to choose his own path in life, but, to his wife Jenny's chagrin, Devin has reverted back to his 12 year old self and settled on the path of sitting in front of the television all night and sleeping all day. He feels like a lost cause, but with a little encouragement from Jenny, Devin starts to believe that he can become the world's greatest writer. After scrounging up an old typewriter, Devin begins pounding away at his novel, Jupiter Jones: Rockstar Vampire Hunter. As he types, Devon's life begins to feel full again, he becomes reinvigorated with ambition and purpose, until he accidentally hires Dr. Walker, a professor of feminist theory in literature, to be his mentor. She reads Jupiter Jones (which is acted out onstage for the audience), and is completely appalled. Her scathing criticisms (i.e. cheesy, derivative, self indulgent, garbage) tear him down as low as he's ever been, but as the two work together and learn from each other, he eventually finds the will to keep typing and finish Jupiter's story. | |||||

Synopsis: | Nicolas Gutierrez left Cuba with his family in 1956, and is living in exile in Miami when the play starts (4 years later). He longs to return to his homeland and see the people of Cuba freed from tyranny. An American man claiming to work for a "private company" asks Nicolas to join a covert mission to free Cuba. Nicolas accepts the invitation but must convince his family that it is the right thing to do. Despite his family's reluctance, Nicolas joins Brigade 2506 and becomes a part of one of the biggest military betrayals of all time at The Bay of Pigs. After 22 months as a P.O.W., Nicolas returns home and is overwhelmed by the betrayal he feels from all directions: the U.S., the Cuban people, God, his priest, and his own brother. He tries to find a way to find his lost faith. | |||||

Synopsis: | Princess Beautious wins the ultimate grand prize winner and gets to marry Prince Absurdly Handome on his reality TV show. On the Journey to the Prince's kingdom, she and her lazy servant, Falada, get highjacked by a hideous, desperate-to-be-famous peasant girl, Repulsa. Repulsa tricks the Princess, switches places with her, and even has Falada's head cut off (Bit don't worry, he's okay. He's just a little decapitated). The arrival of the hideous new fiancée and her beautiful servant throws the reality show into a hilarious fiasco and nearly gets the prince killed with a vial of poison. But all ends well (for most of them). | |||||
