Synopsis: Life could be simpler for Jill Frisby. With brother Archibald terrified to leave their apartment and mother Maya steadfast in her desire to sit in a hole on the beach to be closer to her dead husband, Jill is forced into running the family's clam shack single-handedly. That is, until she hires Lane against her better judgment. Soon Jill's coarse spiritual fabric is stretched to its limit by Lane's eternal and eclectic optimism. At first glance quirky, at times brimming with hilarity, the inner core of this piece is hauntingly tender.

But the forces that stifle Valerie's spirit are facing extinction and strange alliances threaten to unearth a deep secret that, if exposed, will reverse the girls' fortunes fore

Synopsis: One pleasant evening, Doug and Shonda invite their friend Bing over for dinner and drinks. As they ply him with wine, the conversation's civility begins to crumble, and we witness each of the trio's run-ins with characters on the edge of their suburban existence -- a pregnant waitress, an ether-addicted doctor, a philanthropic street peddler. These experiences converge on the comfortable living room, forcing a choice between continuing on with their disconnected lives, or embracing the possibilities of human kindness.

Synopsis: Lena's days as a nanny seem numbered. Her mishaps with the washing machine have mangled all of her young charge's clothes, the housekeeper is hoping to get her fired. The family she works for is suffering identity crises unique to black urban professionals, and, oh yeah, a forest has begun to climb its way through the floorboards of the house. This is a play of velocity and image that rumbles to a chilling end.

Synopsis: We all have instinctive fears -- but what if a fear becomes inexplicable, illogical, and just plain weird? Then you're dealing with a phobia, one of those most extreme and fascinating of terrors. Actors Theatre of Louisville asked 16 frighteningly creative playwrights to find inspiration in real phobias, and the resulting collection of pieces might prove that not only is fear humankind's oldest emotion, but it's also one of our silliest, most serious, and stage-worthy.

Synopsis: College classmates Diane and Grace cordially sip cocktails in Diane's living room. Although the din of gin and tonic rises steadily throughout their reunion it is unable to drown the racket of Diane's deepest fear, that of her fourteen year old daughter Perry, whom she purposefully leaves at gymnastics practice each evening in the hope that she can forestall Perry's constant need for parenting. Diane's mother, haunted by the unfair treatment she received in her younger days during her trips to the department store, pops in and out spouting what might be deemed nonsense if it didn't ultimately reveal the roots of Diane's anxieties. Relentlessly character driven, this is a piece about confinement, and the demands of femininity in the black elite.
