Bar Flies welcomes you to the bar of your nightmares: if there was a dive in purgatory, this would be it. Every sad sack in this place has a story to tell, and each and every one of them is one sip away from spilling their guts. Or cutting their feet off. Or picking up chicks to join the Marines. Or toasting to ghosts. Or burying their next-door neighbor in the backyard. Or exposing their incestuous lesbian love affair with their little sister. Or hand-picking which drunkard to get in a car accident with on the road back home. Bar Flies will be presented in Galapagos's back room among its patrons: noise, smoke, drink, sweat, pickup lines, etc. It will consist of five stories spoken by five actors mixing with music from the band. You will not know the players until they speak, possibly from the bar stool next to you

Hostages is a darkly funny, quietly moving love story between two American hostages held captive in a war-torn country. With text by acclaimed wordsmith Clay McLeod Chapman and indie rock songs by Kyle Jarrow, it's a provocative look at America's place in the world today -- and the enduring power of love in tragic times.

Think Sweet Valley High for terrorists. Cheerleaders double as suicide bombers. Guidance counselors are taken hostage by the A/V club. Students construct pine-box coffins in shop class. And blood is shed on the football field every Friday night. junta high explores the what-if scenario of transposing the current political imbroglio of modern Iraq within an American public high school. Each individual narrative stems from a different character found within this high school environment, spanning students and teachers, parents, and everyone in between--providing access to the inner machinations of people's faith and fervor, blurring the lines between school spirit and holy wars

An immigrant girl went missing twenty years ago. No one filed a missing persons report with the police since she didn't have any family here in the states. Nobody seemed to wonder where she'd gone. Nobody cared. Any hint of who she was simply vanished. Her name was Colleen.

Pumpkin Pie Show creator Clay McLeod Chapman has teamed up with One Year Lease to create teaser cow, an off-the-wall script that takes characters from the ancient Greek myth of the Minotaur and drops them into the world of Fast Food Nation. In teaser cow, King Minos is a cattle baron hell-bent on world beef domination. Queen Pasiphae can't stay off the sauce. Their misfit daughter spends her days slinging burgers and huffing cow patties to get high. And their son? He's the Minotaur—a half-man, half-bull monster that only a mother could love. Toss in a twelve-step program, a couple of severed fingers, and a kid-hating corporate mascot in a plush suit, and you’ve got one deliciously disturbing dark comedy.
