Synopsis: God's Pants Too Huge focuses on the 3 necessities of human life-food, shelter, and sex-at the low end of the economic continuum. At rise and as prologue, Fairy Dust enters throwing fairy dust a.k.a. confetti over an appliance box as if to enchant, introduces the play's theological connection, then herself, and is hustled away by cops. Albert enters and claims the appliance box for the night, Frog returns claiming the box as his. They fight arriving at an uneasy truce, then join forces against Fairy Dust when she steals Albert's bag of empty cans. She is caught and threatened with disfigurement. Fairy Dust screams anything but that, "fuck me, rape me." The cops hold the tarp to shield the audiences view, and turn a blind eye, as Frog sets about raping Fairy Dust-arms, legs, heads, clothing popping out around the edges of the tarp. Albert defers. Frog jumps to his heels when he discovers that Fairy Dust is a man. Black out. Fairy Dust brings a settled domestic quality to the (now three man) camp. They begin thinking about bettering themselves, and start preparing for a future together in an apartment. Suddenly, the cops sweep into the camp busting it up and beating the men. After the maelstrom the stage is empty save for Albert and Frog. Albert's clothes are in taters. Frog is naked. Fairy Dust appears tosses a pair of huge gold lamé pants on stage and then disappears, the men pull them on to cover their nakedness-one in each leg, Albert and Frog confess their love towards each other, as Fairy Dust appears cruciform in gold lamé loincloth and bra against the upstage wall. Yes there are Christian overtones, however the play takes a different spin from the religious right and is for mature, progressive audiences.

Synopsis: At rise in M/21 Bellevue, Stanley races for a bus as it pulls away from the stop, catching it at the red light. He is aboard with some angry words to the driver. Once he's settled, he realizes that the driver is the man who made his knees go weak in the ShopRite some weeks past. The man Stanley has searched for, ever since. The driver calls Stanley on his staring, and a three part conversation ensues between Stanley and the driver, Stanley and his wife, and Stanley and himself as the bus crosses Manhattan headed for Bellevue. Stanley examines his love, his relationships, and his desire; and as the bus heads up Avenue C toward the end of the route resolves to make his feelings known to the driver. He does and is queer bashed by the driver even though they have been making eyes at each other during the play.

Synopsis: A farce about relationships, gender, and orientation. The action of Three Dykes, One of Whom Is a Man occurs in a family run plastic surgery clinic in which the rubric of conventional sexual orientation is overthrown against a background of continuous body modifications. Each of the characters goes through a range of sexual permutations, arriving at the end, a changed but presumably better person for the adventure. Ford/Frieda begins the play in a dissatisfactory marriage with Thea, comes to terms with his desire to be a woman, transitions, and ends the play in a lesbian relationship with his/her wife, Thea. Lorraine, Theas sister, begins the play a lesbian on the rebound and ends in a relationship with Squeeze, a man on the run from the law and seeking a new face. Tuk, a Thai surgeon/bi-sexual/on occasion cross dresser, and Helga the clinics nurse mainly interest themselves with sexual high jinkstheirs and everyone elses. It is a comedy so there is a happy ending for everyone although the story has some dark twists and turns. It has some erotic moments on stage, some nakedness off stage, and some explicit language both places so it is for mature audiences.
