Feminine Ending, A

Synopsis:
Amanda, twenty-five, wants to be a great composer. But at the moment, she's living in New York City and writing advertising jingles to pay the rent while her fiancee, Jack pursues his singing career. So when Amanda's mother, Kim, calls one evening from New Hampshire and asks for her help with something she can't discuss over the phone, Amanda is only too happy to leave New York. Once home, Kim reveals that she's leaving Amanda's Father and needs help packing. Amanda balks and ends up (gently' hitting the postman, who happens to be her first boyfriend. they spend the night together in an apple orchard, where Amanda tries to tell Billy how her life got sidetracked. It has something to do with being a young woman in a profession that only recognizes famous men. Billy acts like he might have the answer, but doesn't. Neither does Amanda's mother. Or, for that matter, her father. A Feminine Ending is a gentle, bittersweet comedy about a girl who knows what she wants but not quite how to get it. Her parents are getting divorced, her fiancee is almost famous, her first love reappears, and there's a lot of noise in her head but none of it is music. Until the end.

How And the Why, The

Synopsis:
More than science is at stake when two women, of different generations, clash over evolutionary biology and what it means to be female. Emotion and intellect guide their journey through the murky waters of family, love, and truth on the eve of a competitive conference. Despite conflicting research, these two brilliant individuals must find the middle ground between research and relationships. the How and the Why, a new play by the writer of HBO's In Treatment, is a thrilling and provocative exploration of sex and gender, family and biology, nurture and nature.

Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror
A high school Homecoming dance in the south. In the bathroom Gretchen Black, the most popular girl in school, lights a cigarette and asks the mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all. the mirror shows her a horrible witch instead of her own reflection. Gretchen puts the cigarette out in her armpit and the witch disappears. Moments later a mysterious new girl named Rose White arrives at Homecoming. She has no hips or chest to speak of, but her skin shines white as snow and her lips are as red as the rose. She's after Gretchen's boyfriend, Badger Biers. In this dark comedy, based on Snow White, ten teenagers love, lose, betray and revenge each other over one autumnal weekend in a kingdom far, far away. It is a precarious landscape where magic lurks behind make-up, mirrors and memories.
