Heels Over Head

Synopsis:
a romantic farce about a couple vowing to keep their poetic, rhapsodic love alive despite overwhelming disruption. Jake and Luna meet and fall magically in love at a bungee jumping for singles weekend. they elope, not caring where they drive, and spend the next several days at an inn subsisting on blueberry muffins. But as real life awaits their passion is challenged by dwelling problems, roommates, relatives, old lovers, secrets and many idiosyncrasies. an unrealistically optimistic comedy about love-as we'd like to live it.

Hope Throws Her Heart Away

Synopsis:
Hope desperately tries to make life work-- molding herself into a reflection of everyone else's expectations. We first meet Hope at a party in uncomfortable shoes, boomeranging from guest to guest, changing stories for everyone she meets. In a flashback, we see the progression from a carefree child to an eager student to a compliant young adult. Stumbling on through friendships, school, graduation and career, Hope starts to disagree with being so agreeable. a serious comedy about the life education of a contemporary woman.

Notes:
Three women play one character in A cumulating series of choral pieces And monologs.
