Synopsis:
It's Christmas and Tim has decided to do something about his clandestine affair with a man he's actually never met -- outside of the confessional of his local Catholic church. Tim: "Even though you've never kissed me, or held me, or even touched me. . . I've known for a long time that you love me too. I can feel it when you preach. . . I can sense it right now as you sit there behind the screen, alone in the dark, clutching your rosary to your chest."

Notes:
One way to perform this play is to cast two different actors - male and one female - for each role. This would give you four actors who would perform every other time the play is produced. In this way, the play could be performed on four consecutive nights in the following way: 1. Male (#1) and Female (#2) - straight, awkward female. 2. Male (#1) and Male (#2) - gay men. 3. Female (#1) and Male (#2) - straight, awkward male. 4. Female (#1) and Female (#2) - lesbians.
Synopsis:
Midnight. Two people strolling hand-in-hand down the street. Two people on a first date. Two people who are the opposite in almost every way. Yet somehow the evening has been almost perfect... And then the streetlight goes out. "For the first time in my life I can fee that magnetic charge -- that wild electric current -- just by holding your hand. It's like we're opposites, that somehow attract."? Actor / Actress #2

Synopsis:
As a heavy mid-winter blizzard blankets Union Square under three feet of snow, Lisa, a talented musician who lost her husband when the north tower collapsed, is celebrating her fortieth birthday. She's not as enthusiastic about the party as her doting father, eight-year-old daughter and the cardiologist she's been seeing for the last few months. But that doesn't stop her fun-loving mother from trying to throw a party no one will ever forget. Which is what happens when Will, Lisa's troubled twenty-year-old stepson, crashes the celebration. Half-frozen and strung-out on crystal meth, ?Will has nowhere to go. As night passes and snow piles high on the abandoned streets, Lisa begins to see this troubled boy with chameleon charm as her last chance to recover all that she's lost.
