Crumple Zone, The

Synopsis:
This hilarious off Broadway hit, set in a run down apartment on Staten Island, concerns three gay roommates coming to crisis during one frantic Christmas weekend. Terry, an out of work actor who can't keep a job or get a date, spends his days swilling cheap vodka and playing referee to a messy love triangle. Extremely funny and deeply moving, the Crumple Zone is about staying together, breaking apart and the things we lose along the way. "the kind of domestic comedy that might have been written by Neil Simon if he were gay and 40 years younger!" N.Y. Times. "A little gem." Liz Smith. "Guaranteed to keep the laughter in overdrive!" N.Y. Daily News. "Sparkles! the first fresh comedy of its type to come along in years. It is not going too far to draw parallels between Neil Simon or Kaufman & Hart at the top of their powers. . .. A rollicking farce with a heart of pure gold." LGNY Newspaper.

Physical

Synopsis:
It is the coldest night in November. Owen has shelved his college books and thesis papers to prepare for the date of his life. With candlelight, soft music, and enough Italian chicken to feed the Northeast coast, he is ready, but not for Aurora, the drug store cosmetics cashier he has finally had the courage to ask for a date. All lipstick and hair spray and spike heels, Aurora is a combination of every cover girl in the history of Cosmopolitan, but her brain is made of paper too. Nothing goes as planned. When Aurora falls for Owen's better looking roommate, Mitch, things really get out of hand. Throw in Frieda, a psycho obsessive neighbor who has weddings with Barbie dolls and wields a mean butcher knife, and you have a physical comedy of lunatic proportions.

Wonderland Wives

Wonderland Wives
Cinderellas Prince Charming is serving ten years in the pen, Belles house is overrun with little monsters, Alice has been hitting the caterpillars pipe a little too hard lately, and Snow Whites husband has shacked up with the three little pigs. Now shes keeping up appearances as the fairest in the land with the help of a little girdle and a lot of hair dye, and trying to keep Belle from draining the royal booze reserves and Cindy from inhaling the banquet table. When Briar Rose comes home from rehab with the face of a beauty, and Charming returns from prison with the libido of a beast, the desperate housewives of the magical kingdom are forced to grapple with princely infidelity, poison apples, and Cindys appetite for creamy poofs and brutal revenge. This fractured fairy tale brings an arched brow and an eye for dark, sexy hilarity to the Ever After that keeps going long after the Happily fades away.

Notes:
conceived by Phil Poluliah and Buddy Thomas
