Synopsis: Germaine Lauzon has just won a million trading stamps in the local lottery. To get them pasted into books, she invites her four sisters and a variety of close friends to assist her. While Germaine dreams of things she's always wanted and can now buy for herself, her sisters and friends scheme to thwart her, as they turn jealous with no understanding as to why Germaine should win anything. Each sister explains her view of Germaine's life while they scheme to pilfer stamps away from her. Thrown into the wacky group is Germaine's daughter, Linda, who, going through the dramatic changes of a misunderstood teenager, needs help dealing with her mother, and invites her friend Lisette to the house. But Lisette needs advice too, being newly pregnant, and finds Dear Aunt Pierrette, the black sheep of the family, to advise her on whether to have an abortion, put the baby up for adoption, or any other alternative. Germaine battles with Linda, when she suddenly realizes some of her stamps are missing and catches the ladies in the act. A wild and raucous stamp-throwing melee ensues which triggers Linda to decide that this is a good time to get out on her own. Germaine's sisters make off with as many stamps as possible and Germaine is left with shattered dreams and only a fraction of the million stamps she had when she started.

Synopsis: Serge has returned from overseas, and his trip allows everyone to get lost in the fantasy of vacation, ignoring the trouble brewing inside of Serge. Serge has really returned to consummate a love affair with one of his sisters, while his other two sisters, also infatuated with him, want his attention. This family-sexual relationship is heightened when we find that Armand, Serge's father, has in the past, practiced incest himself. Though the question of hereditary traits is not answered, Serge finds an understanding soul in his father. Father and son find themselves compatriots in this family of desperate women and wicked men.

Synopsis: The play explores one of humanity's oldest questions: "where do I belong?" Through the intertwining monologues of Manon, an introverted Catholic zealot whose previously direct line of communication with God has collapsed, and Sandra, a flamboyant transvestite who has begun to realize that her existence cannot be built on the backsides of her lovers, each strives to find their solution in the sacred and the sacrilegious. We see that perhaps these two characters have more in common than they ever could have imagined.

Synopsis: Presenting both their past and present lives, Carmen and Manon agonizewithin and between themselvesover the relationship between their parents, Leopold and Marie-Lou. The two sisters are torn in their loyalties to a mother who was uninvolved and a father who was emotionally and physically abusive. They struggle with the image of their father as a monster and who has caused a rift between the sisters, who, until a visit to the family home one weekend, have been unable to confront their anger. Scenes from the past reveal the father as a dominant sexual ogre and the mother as submissive, repressed, and resentful. We learn that to alleviate his own frustration, Leopold drove Marie-Lou over a cliff, ridding himself of the constant pain in his life. The two daughters are left with the legacy of torment, as they struggle to identify their father as a monster and then move on with their own lives.
