Notes: Also produced by the Imua! Theatre Co. in NYC, NY in 1998

Synopsis: Frank's angry. He's a genius, or so he feels, but he hasn't worked as a director in ages. He's surrounded by phonies and mediocrity. He hates New York but can't bring himself to leave. But his greatest agony is the love of his life, Cecilia. Cecilia's a young actress who's so close to stardom she can taste it. All she has to do is get the lead in a Hollywood "erotic thriller." Cecilia's success has earned her a batch of flatterers jockeying for her recommendation to her powerful agent. For some reason, Frank hates their guts. Frank demands that Cecilia turn the movie down. She tells Frank that she'll turn the movie down, if Frank can be nice to her friends for just one night. Before that night is over, Frank and Cecilia test each other's principles, smash each other's dreams, and battle over the lines between the love of art, the love of fame, and the love of each other.

Synopsis: Nondescript Teddy didn't want to go corporate, but his wife and he agreed it was time to grow up. At his first business conference, he meets Myna, a mysterious workshop leader. Her unusual seminar -- rooted in mystery, myth and masks -- enthralls all who attend. Soon Teddy is under her sway, and in her hotel room. She offers Teddy secret knowledge that will make him as extraordinary as her, if he breaks an ancient taboo, a savage act that could destroy him and his wife. The myth of Theseus and the Minotaur weaves with corporate gamesmanship, in this story of the power of secrets and the labyrinth of human relations.

Synopsis: Death, mystery, disease, insanity, blood, poetry: It's not one of Edgar Allan Poe's stories. It's his life, and he's only just turned thirteen. The young poet, rejected by his foster-father Jock, begins a weird affair with his eccentric mistress Jane Stanard. When Jane goes insane and dies, Edgar briefly unites with Jock in mutual grief. But Edgar soon finds a new obsession: Sarah Elmira Royster, who looks -- to Jock, Edgar and the audience -- exactly like Mrs. Stanard. Alternately drawn to and terrified by Elmira, Jock attempts to drive this ghost out of their lives, even as Edgar uses the shared phantasm in a demented gamble to bond with the only father he's ever known.

Notes: -

Synopsis: In this provocative comic play by Dan Trujillo, a trio of performers tell the audience the remarkable story of an atheist trying to disprove God's existence by stealing a baby Jesus from a nativity scene, unleashing a series of miracles that prove the existence of the Christian God he denies. But did any of this really happen? And do the actors even believe the story they're enacting? Featuring Mole people, black market Viagra salesmen, speaking in tongues, tasteless caricatures, three maybe-miracles, and more twists and turns than a roller coaster, The Honest-to-God True Story of the Atheist is a dark comedy that questions everything, including itself.

Notes: Also produced by the Ground Floor Theatere Lab, NYC, NY, in 1996

Synopsis: The setting is a basement family room, littered with toys. Or rather, the setting is the set of a basement family room. Tom announces to the audience that he is going to perform a play about his childhood, with the assistance of his big brother, Dan. Dan is reluctant to help, but agrees, on the condition that they stop at a certain point. They tell the story of Tom's childhood antisocial behavior, and how he used to spend all his time in an imaginary world called Planet Toy. A doctor found that Dan was the only person who could communicate with Tom about this world, so he enlisted Dan to help wean Tom off of Planet Toy. Dan reluctantly played with Tom. Using Luke Skywalker, Mr. T, and other characters from movies, TV, toys & comic books, they acted out the saga of Planet Toy's struggles against the Evil Emperor Illen. In spite of Dan's lack of enthusiasm, Tom's behavior stabilized as Dan played with him. But Dan felt guilty about deceiving Tom, and confessed to being a spy for the Doctor. Tom and Dan conspired to tell the Doctor phony stories about Toyland so he'd stay off their cases. Dan assumed that this meant he didn't have to play Planet Toy anymore, but. . . It's at this point that Dan wants to stop telling the story. Tom insists they continue, begging his brother not to fail him again. As the boys battle for control of the narrative of their lives, old wounds return, and we learn the price both boys paid for leaving Toyland.

Notes: -

Synopsis: A forgotten movie star (MAE) and an ostracized painter (LIZA) corner a movie studio executive. They have a pitch for a film about their lives: how they created the most offensive and beloved show in the country, wherein Liza's rapist was repeatedly raped for the audience; how Liza, exhausted by the Hollywood circus, denied the rape; and how the same media juggernaut that raised them up destroyed them. Sounds like a hit, until the studio executive learns that he's far more involved in the story than he thought.
