Synopsis: | When Ethan is born in the worst blizzard of the century, two-year-old sister Ainsley nearly sacrifices a toe trying to clear a path for the baby's arrival. That initial gesture of devotion blossoms into a tale of sibling loyalty, rivalry and love that spans two decades. Inspired by Joan Ackermann's narrative "Back Story," each of the eighteen playwrights in this collective creation puts a distinctive spin on Ainsley's and Ethan?s amusing and poignant struggles with life, with each other, and with the phantom dad who abandoned them for the wilds of Alaska | |||||

Synopsis: | The place is a rundown boarding house in the slums of a large American city, the time the 1950s. Charles Blackwell, a writer of popular fiction, is having difficulty in finding an ending for his latest work, "The Killer Inside Me," a task made more difficult by the constant intrusions of his fellow roomers. These include his love-starved, slatternly landlady, Wanda; an aged and mentally impaired war veteran, Earl, who is driven to distraction by the sound of Blackwell's typewriter; and Lou, a psychotic young misfit given to violent fantasies and to sleepwalking in his jockey shorts. They are all people filled with angst and desperation and all, in one way or another, seem to be trying to use Blackwell, the outsider, as a means of finding relief from their crabbed circumstances. Then Wanda's violent and hateful husband, an ex-con, suddenly returns after an absence of several years, flashing a roll of bills and vowing to reclaim his wife's "love" despite her loathing for him. Inexorably the action of the play m | |||||

Synopsis: | Catherine, a young and promising poet affected with schizophrenia, returns home to her cluttered apartment after a stay in the hospital. Urged on by her publisher she struggles to pursue her art, but the very intensity of thought which this demands brings on her attacks, and the imaginary voices which bedevil her. At a party she meets Robert, a young stockbroker, and as their relationship deepens she relies ever more heavily on Thorazine pills to control her illness and maintain a semblance of normalcy. Ironically, while the pills block her "voices" they also stifle her creative impulses and the talent which has brought her the most joy. Trying to handle both her relationship with Robert and her needs as an artist she cuts down on the Thorazine doses, but as her illness again becomes apparent Robert backs away. In the end Catherine, in a shattering scene, scatters the pills on the floor, and facing the inevitable truth that she can be only one person and not two, slips inexorably back into madness. | |||||

Synopsis: | Based on the Newbery Honor book by Avi, THE TRUE CONFESSIONS OF CHARLOTTE DOYLE is a rousing seafaring adventure story set in the 1830s. A cargo ship bound for the States is no place for a young lady from England--but that is just where Charlotte Doyle finds herself. Surrounded by a weathered crew, she is soon swept up in a mutiny against the deceptively charming Captain Jaggery. While defending her new, kind-hearted friend Zachariah, Charlotte challenges the Captain, who then denounces her. Unafraid to test her own strength, she chooses to live among the sailors learning how to climb the main mast and trim a sail. During a hurricane, the first mate is found slain and Charlotte is sentenced to hang for the crime. Who will defend her and what will become of her? Full of surprises and intrigue, CHARLOTTE DOYLE takes you on a high-seas escapade. | |||||
