Synopsis:
A mother-daughter book group in Los Angeles anticipates the arrival of a New Yorker writer doing an article on them (and secretly the lack of literary culture in Los Angeles). The women were so excited about the evening that they all forgot one crucial ingredient: to read the book. In their comic struggle to save face, their alliances change, secrets are exposed, and the line between fact and fiction is not only blurred, but flat out erased. Act One is a desperate attempt for Barbara, Marie, Candice, and Beth to pass as readers. They talk about the book based only on their quick reading of the back cover. Completely misunderstanding the story, they not only get caught, but the writer, Alice, turns out to be the actual author of the novel. Act Two is a desperate attempt to pick up the pieces, and, for Alice, a comic attempt to escape LA. But now that the secret is out it leads to one can of worms after another: race vs. class, LA vs. NY, mothers vs. daughters. The women turn themselves inside out and force each other to face the truths about their lives and the fictions they have been living.

Synopsis:
Branwyn returns home exhausted from a hike where she scattered the ashes of both her dead mother and her crazy sister's dead cat. A knock on the door prompts Branwyn to unleash her frantic tale on Mark -- a guy she thinks is there to buy her house, but is really the blind date she forgot was tonight. Once they figure out the mistaken identity, Branwyn and Mark discover the tenderness that often follows our most humiliating moments.

Synopsis:
Highway 50, which old maps call The Loneliest Road, goes from San Francisco, California to Ocean City, Maryland. Highway 83, called The Road to Nowhere by the same old maps, goes from Swan River, Manitoba to Brownsville, Texas. They crisscross in Garden City, Kansas, where the drama takes place. This play explores the intersection of human loneliness and the desire for anywhere and nowhere. A fraudulent artist, a boy on the verge of manhood, an unwilling father figure, and a woman finally in the driver's seat discover that loneliness often leads to deception, especially if it offers a way out. The play is a modern recasting of American myth - from Elvis Presley to the Wizard of Oz - where four unlikely travelers yearn for courage, a brain, a heart, and a way home. How they get what they want is a different story.

aka Return Of The Soldier

Synopsis:
Major Chris Baldry, a shell-shocked marine, returns home from Iraq having suffered an amnesic loss of the last fifteen years. He has no recollection of the wife he left behind, Kate, and he only remembers his sister Jenny as being a little girl. The only woman he does remember - and the one he came back for - is his first love from fifteen years ago, Marisol. She has not heard from him in over a decade, until she starts receiving letters from him in Iraq. His bittersweet homecoming not only rekindles lost love, but also trudges up the most painful of memories, especially the loss between a husband and wife. Chris must choose between a future of blissful ignorance, and a past of buried grief. But he is not the one who will decide.

Notes:
aka By The Look Of Things

Synopsis:
Intelligent and moving, By the Look of Things draws on fact and fiction to investigate the role of love, faith, and human connection in skeptical times. In Act One, 1922 and 2007 crisscross and nearly collide as three couples navigate their tangible fears, comic obsessions, and heart-breaking secrets. Can new love help Justin and Aimee heal old wounds and pursue new futures? Will a single lie be enough to destroy Hermann Rorschach's already failing career and his relationship with Emil, his most trusted colleague? Will Olive overcome her mourning and step forward into a relationship with Dana? The answers to these questions elude them, as their lives, like one of Rorschach's inkblots, merge and blend into one another without a clear design. At least not one that's clear to them. In Act Two, time collapses. Each of our characters is avoiding something, be it failure, desire, life, or connection and struggling to find meaning in the mess. But, as they discover a new outlook on the randomness, and the kindness, of life, they draw closer to deciphering the inkblot.
