The Age Of Mary (cast of 4)

Mary, a beloved actress in her seventies, is playing a teenager in a big-budget motion-capture film. But, she hasn't been a teenager in a while. Russell, her scene partner, is playing a monster. But, he already spends all day feeling like a monster. Sarah, the PA, is trying her best, but her walkie-talkie is broken. And then there’s David, the director. Gosh, he’s handsome. A play about the parts of ourselves we banish, and the joy and pain of bringing them into the light.

The Winter Guard Play (cast of 7)

Winter Guard is NOT Color-guard. Forget the football, forget the pompoms. In Mechanicsfield Pennsylvania, a High School Winter Guard team attempts to choreograph a routine on the topic of Global Warming. A play about catching flags, catching each other, and realizing the grown ups aren't going to save you.

Sick Day (cast of 5)

Two girls traverse the New York City Medical System on one very hot day. You may have seen them, at Urgent Care, at the Eye Doctor, in the Ambulance, squeezed into a single bed in the ER. They were talking loudly, and laughing loudly too. Sick Day tells the story of two dear friends, performing for strangers, themselves and each other, trying to keep reality at bay.
