Bill of (W)Rights is a political funhouse growing from a moment in history when self-censorship abounds and the populace is increasingly governed by fear. Nine playwrights offer ten plays, each based on one of the U.S. Constitution's first ten amendments. These pieces focus less on government interference and more on the interpersonal, from a father and daughter facing a criminal trial to the silence of an unfaithful husband "pleading the fifth" to his family -- not to mention a company of actors yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. The creation of the script, encompassing a diversity of voices and opinions, was itself an act of democracy, demonstrating that theatre can be a voice of revelation and revolution.

Blue Surge follows the adventures of two cops, two hookers and one uptown fiancée in the aftermath of a failed raid on an illegal brothel. The lives of Kurt, a sensitive dreamer from the wrong side of the tracks, and the not too bright bad boy Doug intersect with those of Sandy, a seemingly gawky ingénue, and the reckless brazen Heather. When Kurt in 'knight-in-shining armour' mode sets out to rescue Sandy from her 'sordid' existence in a twisted version of Pygmalion, his actions have unforeseen consequences for all. A raw human drama Blue Surge is a character driven story that weaves an intriguing narrative spell. Enhanced by a touch of quirky underworld realism Blue Surge offers a refreshing and earthy non-Hollywood perspective on the Pretty Woman myth. Blue Surge never cheats and yet manages to surprise as it unfolds with increasing intensity. The climax is shatteringly beautiful, and absolutely right.
