conceived by Nick jones and Raja Azar; co-created and directed by Robin Frohardt

The Colonists is a lyrical visual fantasy, in which audiences are invited to enter the alien world of the bee. Developed in Bangkok by Nick Jones and Raja Azar, co-creators of the hit show Jollyship the Whiz-Bang, and developed through a Children's Show Grant by the Jim Henson Foundation, The Colonists tells the story of a forest community, overrun by a strange insect force they can't understand. Using electrified puppets, small-scale pyrotechnics, and the music of Shooby Taylor the Human Horn, among others, The Colonists is a rite of spring to delight children and adults alike

Sequel to "Sleepless Fishes"

Past the prime of his career and life of sin, a pirate captain looks for new avenues to explore. A trip to the Americas leads to his recruitment into a Conquistador "pyramid scheme" converting heathens for cash and prizes. He is joined by a zealous crab eager to prove himself a worthy peer of man. But the gift of Christian Civilization is not given easily. In the jungle, in the throes of starvation, tempers flare, and desperate measures are taken. Will they live long enough to discover the true meaning of Christmas, and the City of Gold?

An isolated religious community, seceded from the Union since the Whiskey Rebellion, is exploited for protection payments by a local swindler who guards the secret of their existence. But when the townspeople begin to doubt his wild stories about the nefarious U.S. government, he sends a witless tourist with an offensive, ironic T-shirt into town, sending the irony challenged populus into a panic. Who is this "Vagina Inspector" and what does he want from them? Will he spare their women his unspeakable inspections, or must they surrender as a bribe their greatest treasure, their ageold kettle chip recipe, said to be handed down by God Himself! An old fashioned comedy of errors, and the backstory to what will soon be America's favorite brand of kettle chips.

written by Nick Jones and Rachel Shukert

A young girl asks her father, where do plastic surgeons come from? What follows is a fantastical romp through pre-civilized Europe, via the medieval art and science of nosemaking. Our hero is Gavin, a young orphan rescued from a dismal existence in the Ivanhoe Workhouse for Criminally Impoverished Boys when he is apprenticed with the local Nosemaker, eventually to become one of the finest surgeons in Vienna, cradle of quack medicine. Using innovative skin grafting techniques and cutting-edge alchemy, Gavin and his master seek only to do the Work of the Almighty by restoring small appendages lost to rat bites, dueling, and syphilis. But when they are unable to help a powerful and mutilated knight recently returned from the crusades, they find their feet over the fire...literally.

presented as part of The Pretentious Festival

Somewhere in New Hampshire, a seemingly ordinary artist, venturing beyond his art colony's security fence, encounters a mysterious creature. This creature brings important news from the future: he will write a one man show, and it will be brilliant! Speaking to the artist in a form of telepathic French, the creature helps him discover his true voice, even as the other artists at the colony begin to meet bizarre and untimely ends. . .."Rockberry: The Last One Man Show" or "The Infinity Within" is a paranoid philosophical thriller about the importance of art, Destiny, and the superiority of monologue over dialogue, dramatized in the mode of a summer camp slasher flick. With French supertitles, gratuitous video, and dangerous revelations about the poet John Ashbery.

It's 1763 and there are vampires in Philadelphia. Paula Abdul Blackwood is a beautiful young quaker girl being forced into marriage with the wheelwright's son. Jack Sheridan, a politically idealistic young vampire, is the man she loves. Everywhere there is dissent. Fractious parties debate the future of the colony. This is a play about a play reading of a play about certain real historical events which could have actually happened, but didn't. It's the story of a woman's dream of writing a jukebox musical integrating the music of Paula Abdul with a vampire romance/history lesson. The story of the birth of a nation, as seen through the eyes of Halloween.
