Synopsis:
Channel One is TV as performed by the last two people on earth. "Let us explain. We are the last two people left in the whole world. Let us explain. We escaped the end of civilization in a time machine only to land in a very lonely future. We then created our own version of TV shows to entertain ourselves - we can't explain - but wind up performing them to unexpected time traveling audiences. Channel One is our television channel. Its the only one left."

Standing Clear

Synopsis:
Coffee Cup, the inventive company that brought you the acclaimed Turning Tables, takes to the NYC subway to create their latest physical comedy, Standing Clear, an ensemble piece that digs deep into the personalities we commute with each day. Have you ever imagined what a stranger's life was like? Pressed right up against each other, but miles away, what happens when we let the strangers we see every day affect us? an ode to the NYC subway, Standing Clear shines a spotlight on the fleeting moments that we rarely recognize as being key to the essential beauty of New York.

Today Is All Your Birthdays

Synopsis:
Today Is all Your Birthdays is a comedic, philosophical, sci-fi take on birth, death, time travel, Darwins theory of evolution, hypnotism, sandwiches and the meaning of life. Far away from the "set-up, punchline, blackout" sketch comedy universe, Birthdays is intelligent, theatrical, free-flowing, stream-of-consciousness hilarity that doesnt bother with vulgarity or cynicism.
