Synopsis: Dick and Jane Jones run "Having With Heart", a company which uses philanthropy as a front for greed. Their newest venture, "Bag Babies", transforms the international foster parents plan into a tax deductible scheme in which wealthy clients adopt street people to improve their public image. All goes well until the arrival of Jane's homeless Uncle George. The rich speak rhyming couplets and the poor speak prose in this comic and wildly theatrical satire on hypocrisy and greed.

Notes: Performance Rights : The Core Group Talent Agency. From the classic Bram Stoker text

Synopsis: A female van Helsing, a comic look at Victorian mores, a recreation of the novel's sweep, and a disturbing reflection on the relationship between sex and death, distinguish this adaptation of the Victorian classic.The play opens in a graveyard. Tonight, those who lived the tale of DRACULA, return from the dead to tell us their story. Using simple props, banners, and the techniques of epic theatre, actors assume multiple roles and whisk us from the port at Whitby, to the Transylvanian Castle, Dr. Seward's asylum, a crypt, a Romanian convent, a ghost ship, and the finest homes in London.

How Vivian gets her new novel finished in the face of, behind the back of, in spite of and with the help of an advice columnist, a nosy reporter, a doctor with panty hose on his head, an orphan with a cake, and Helga the evil physicist, is the story of this outrageous comedy
