Synopsis: | John Gruen's Dancing Fools is comprised of three short comedies: In Six 'Everything' Bagels, an older gay man despairs over his young lover's infidelities, while the young lover yearns to find himself and a career. In the meantime, a transgendered person enters their lives producing both outrage and chaos. In Olivia Wants to Dance, after ten years of marriage, a woman wants to end her marriage to a much older man and resume her career as a dancer. When a previous lover, the sexy Leopold, reappears in Olivia's life, he tries to make her dreams come truewith a novel idea involving his Polish aunt.The Almighty centers on three men discussing The Almighty and what The Almighty can do for them. All yearn for untold happiness: two may have already achieved it, but the third is very skeptical and very resistant. But just who is The Almighty? And what can He really do? The answer becomes confounding, sinister and, most certainly, cynical. | |||||

Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Double Feature takes an alternately witty and poignant look at life through the lens of Hollywood by showcasing two new short plays. In the curtain-raiser I Want To Live, an elderly film historian in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease spends his days recalling the long-dead movie stars of his youth, blissfully unaware that his wife is considering leaving him for greener pastures. Mother Loves Her Boys is a comedy about an imperious, self-involved film actress in her declining years who traverses the globe in an increasingly futile attempt to get one of her sons-whom she has not seen in over twenty years-to take her in." | |||||
