Synopsis:
Brash city lobbyist SHARON GRAY is both fascinated and repelled by MATTHEW COHEN, the Jewish Orthodox chiropractor who relieves her chronic neck pain. Matt struggles with Parkinson's Disease and follows the strict teachings of a charismatic rabbi. Sharon, the child of Holocaust refugees, is hostile to all religion and believes only in the primacy of raw power. Initially she taunts Matt for his beliefs and argues with him. Soon, however, she becomes his friend and then his protector, using her great influence to save his faltering practice. They fall in love. Matt's reaction is to break off the relationship. Her reaction is to plot and scheme -- to use all of her lobbyist tricks -- in an attempt to seduce Matt away from his family and religion. For once, Sharon may not get what she wants, but she may get something far more valuable.

Synopsis:
Alfred Kinsey: A Love Story is a fictionalized biography that places Kinseys own erotic voyage under examination, revealing the raw, hot emotions that often hide beneath his seemingly cold search for scientific knowledge. Through the wreckage of his memories and hallucinatory fragments, the play dissects the unreliability of objective truth and lays bare one mans obsessive fascination with sex and sexual orientation

Synopsis:
A New-Age bedroom farce with a twist. Carl is married to Jane but having an affair with office-mate Betsy. Betsy wants Carl to leave Jane and marry her - something he continually promises to do, but never does. When Carl's college friend Jim is invited to dinner, the unsuspecting Jane invites Betsy, too, in an attempt to play matchmaker. But Jim falls madly in love with Jane at first sight. When he inadvertently overhears Carl and Betsy on the baby monitor and learns of their affair (and her frustrations), Jim suggests to Betsy that they fake a torrid love affair with each other. This way they can see Carl and Jane socially as a couple. Betsy can use these occasions to make Carl jealous, while Jim woos Jane on the sly. But just as the plan begins to work and the Carl/Jane marriage is on the verge of break-up, Jim and Betsy discover that their "phony" love affair is a lot more real than they think.

Synopsis:
PEGGY RYERSON is a young corporate lawyer on the fast-track; TIM GRANT is the freelance paralegal assigned to work with her on her first big case. TIM works in law firms only when he has to. His mission in life is to complete the book he's been working on for eight years, a supposedly spiritual masterpiece so original he will not show a word of it to anyone, lest it be corrupted by commerce. Peggy is as disdainful of his artistic pretensions as he is of her corporate careerism. Yet the attraction between them is strong. TIM lets her read his book and she is profoundly affected. They fall in love. But Peggy cannot accept that Tim is an unpublished writer. She begins secretly shopping his book to every publisher in town. The only one to bite is GABRIELLA ROSSINI, a tough-talking and very pregnant publisher who sees the book for what it really is: a New-Age business book about scheming your way to the top of the corporate ladder.
