Synopsis: | We all know the story: Gabriel announces the coming of a child and Mary is stunned but welcoming of her Lord's will. But did it really happen this way? How could the players in this immortal tale live through those nine months of waiting? We examine the humanity of Gabriel, the divinity of young Mary, and the blindness of the community around them. What effect did these two beings of light have on each other, and was their connection deeper than we might suspect? This is the story of the Angel Gabriel and Mary of Nazareth's strange and convoluted love affair. They meet, fall in love, and are forced to part ways. Of course, because her family and community fail to understand what's happened, Mary is shunned and looked as a criminal. Gabriel is then given the task of converting Mary's future husband, Joseph into believing she holds a pivotal place in human history. As the play moves forward, we watch Mary's transformation from frightened young girl into powerful prophetess as she takes control of her own destiny, and the destiny of her unborn child. | |||||

Synopsis: | When ex-binger Daphne realizes she has put on a few pounds, she is left in a very vulnerable place that's only further perpetuated when she is offered a well paying acting job as a fat character. While her friend Jess struggles with overcoming the psychological baggage of anorexia, and a similar casting situation, Daphne comes face to face with the reality that she will never be the perfect ingenue. Both women must make a decision; one that either boosts their careers, and their pocket books-or one that denounces the commercially minded world all together. | |||||
