Let's Go

Synopsis:
Let's Go is an ensemble-created collage play exploring and responding to the themes, language, characters, and history of Samuel Beckett's defining masterpiece Waiting for Godot. as we struggle for patience in a rapidly-paced yet anxious contemporary era, what are we waiting for and why? What is the shared consciousness we know as reality, and what happens when our brains no longer adhere to it? as we investigate these questions-and invite audience members to be voyeurs into the exhilarating and odd process of creating a new theatre piece-we scream, we dance, we embrace Vaudeville, we stand to the right side of our left brains, we call our mothers. . .and we wait.

Miller, Ms

Synopsis:
Miller, Mississippi is a lurid family drama set against the backdrop of a Civil Rights Era Mississippi. As racial progress pummels forward, we witness one family's downward spiral. Miller, Mississippi spans from 1960 to 1982. Mildred, Thomas, Becky, John, and Doris are witness to world changing events that affect them in individual and personal ways. As time marches on, they discover that, somehow, they were all poisoned by the hatred and evil that was alive and well during that time. Secrets become revealed, crimes are committed, and redemption is nowhere in sight.

Notes:
Nominated for The Kilroys 2015. The Kilroys is a group of playwrights and producers in LA who publish an annual industry survey of excellent new plays by female and trans playwrights. It is a tool for producers committed to ending the systemic underrepresentation of female and trans playwrights in the American theater.

Standards Of Decency Project

Synopsis:
Blue Coyote theater Group presents a program of nine new short plays that collectively the notions of decency and obscenity. the playwrights were asked to write a piece that includes at least one of these elements--nudity, blasphemy, and violence--in a manner that is fully warranted and justified (that is, that avoids mere gratuitousness or sensationalism), while also intended to offend conventional standards of decency. Blue Coyote says that it seeks to spark a discussion about the uses and abuses of transgressive performance onstage with this presentation.

They're Just Like Us

They're Just Like Us
explores a darkly satirical world in which the 'wants' are superficial and the 'needs' are delusional--much like the lives of some of our most beloved and berated celebrities. But celebrities are people, too. they walk down the street, talk with friends, even eat food: just like us. and since they're just like us, and we're just like them, someday we'll be so like them that other people will want to be just like us. and on that day, we'll have an entourage, a paparazzi pinate, and famous rap star at our birthday party.

Townville

Synopsis:
Townville is a picture-perfect artist's community engineered for happiness, where everyone works hard by day to run the town, then makes art when the sun goes down. When Townville's enigmatic government requests a play to be performed for the highest authorities themselves, Townville's residents know they'd better put on a good show. as it becomes clear that secret-free Townville may in fact have a secret or two after all, a new theatre director arrives with a whole new vision for Townville's upcoming performance. and as Townville's population starts disappearing, life-or-death choices must be made if its residents want to live freely-or at all."
