Avenue Q

Avenue Q
It's set on a fictional New York City street, where a bunch of singing puppets and humans are struggling to find their way in the world. the press release tells us: "the cast of characters who live on Avenue Q--Rod, Brian, Kate Monster, Christmas Eve, et al--are members of the younger generation that flocks to New York year after year: out of college, out of work, and out of money, but flush with enough hopes, aspirations, and sexual and identity crises to fill a musical comedy with story and song. Adding to the wit and irreverence of Avenue Q is the musical's sly spin on contemporary children's programming, with a cast comprised of both puppets and real actors."

Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler, The

Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler, The
Beginning immediately after Henrik Ibsen's classic ends, the Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler finds Hedda mired in an alternative hell - a place where death is only possible when a fictional character is forgotten by the real-life public. So what is one of Drama's most famous suicides to do? After taking advice from helpful neighbor Medea, Hedda and her servant, Mammy, set out on a perilous quest to return to the imaginative furnace of their creation. Along the way, they meet characters from science fiction, Black feminist theater, TV cop shows, Biblical Dramas, as well as a couple of wisecracking, self-hating gay characters from the 1960s. Once Hedda and Mammy arrive at their fiery destination, they face a heartbreaking truth about themselves, their creators, and the forces that make them eternal

Hiding Place, The

Hiding Place, The
When Myra, an aspiring playwright and waitress, meets Karl, a well-regarded (and married) novelist, a romantic and imbalanced relationship begins. As their exchanges move beyond letter-writing to the beginning of an affair, Karl drops Myra, who then turns their letters into a barely fictionalized comedy-and the play's leading actor is Karl's unsuspecting best friend. On opening night, the relationship becomes public and, for everyone in Karl and Myra's radius, the world turns on its end. Jumping back and forth in time during seven years of Manhattan life, the HIDING PLACE satirizes the world of art, letters, and theatre-and pays heed to the thwarted passion that dwells in the hearts of their creators.
