Notes: -

Synopsis: This romantic comedy employs twelve scenes to reveal a relationship that spans an entire nighttime, because: A) with the way the world is speeding up now-a-days, a night time is really what a lifetime used to be; B) HE's busy, and; C) SHE's in a rush. HE is a classical musician and filmmaker who lives for Art. SHE is a dancer determined to find Love. (The audience will ultimately be asked to vote on which is more important.) Other obstacles are their Mothers (Puerto Rican and WASP), who appear in dreams, or when reason takes a walk or a giant leap, leaving the door open for all mothers . . . And Fathers, who appear as slides - not quite flesh and blood, but still able to have left an impression. A live musician accompanies all the fun.

Notes: -

Synopsis: tells the story of the complicated relationship between a Salvadoran nanny and the Anglo lawyer she works for. Both women are smart, hard-working mothers. Both want better lives for their children. The play explores what is the shared humanity between them. . .and what are the differences wrought by race, class and Anas illegal status. Through Ana, we understand what it means to leave a child in another country to come here, and the potential cost of sacrificing ones own child in order to care for someone elses. Through Nancy, we understand the pressure on women today to do it all and the cost of making that choice. The play also looks at the prejudices and misconceptions between Anglos and Latinos. How do we make someone the other? What is the cost of doing so? The play is both outrageously funny and ultimately tragic.

Notes: -

Synopsis: A dark comedy about the timeless quest for beautyand its cost. Three women from different centuries meet in a modern doctor's waiting room. Forgiveness From Heaven is an eighteenth-century Chinese woman whose bound feet are causing her to lose her toes. Victoria is a nineteenth-century tightly corsetted English woman suffering from what is commonly known as "hysteria." Then there is Wanda, a modern gal from New Jersey who is having problems with her silicone breasts. Husbands, doctors, Freud, the drug industry and the FDA all come under examination. The play is a wild ride through medical and sexual politics, including the politics of the ever-present battle with breast cancer.
