Eb Scrooge: A Southern Fried Carol

Synopsis:
Cast out your cockneys and leave that stale fruit cake at home -- enter a world of grits and gravy, red velvet cake, and the occasional glass of sweet tea. This modern spin on a timeless classic captures the sights and sounds of contemporary life in today's South, while maintaining the spirit of Dickens' beloved tale of greed and redemption.

Our David

Synopsis:
Velma and Clyde are uneasy neighbors. Velma, a widowed grandmother, has tended her vegetables in this humid North Florida community for most of her life. Clyde, a gay man out of place here, has recently moved in from New York City after losing his lover and most of his friends to aIDS. the two widows express their growing distrust of one another in a series of alternating monologues, at times tragic and hilarious, until a tacky statue of Michelangelo's David unpredictably brings them together.

Parts Unknown

Synopsis:
Tommy and Kevin have what is known as a non-traditional relationship. To most appearances, they're roommates. actually, they're lovers. That's a fact Tommy would like to proclaim to the world but which Kevin would just as soon keep a secret, particularly as they embark on a weekend with Kevin's parents. along the drive, they argue and fantasize -- in a series of comically exaggerated vignettes -- about what lies ahead. Will Tommy play the queen? Will Kevin's parents discover, let alone accept, the fact that their son is gay? Will the relationship survive the weekend?
