Synopses:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egress (2W, 1M; co-written with Melissa Crespo) – Picture this: You\u2019re an architecture professor specializing in modes of egress. You try to teach your students to care about safe passage through spaces and they write about doors and windows. They write about transparent open spaces versus closed systems with no entrances or exits. At home, at night, you startle awake wondering what had just been in the room with you. You know it was something big and cold and damp and it just walked in like it owned the place. What do you expect to come find you? How do you get away?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pleasure Trials (3W) – When Rachel and Callie start clinical trials on their new female libido enhancement drug, willing participants come out of the woodwork looking for an internal revolution. Quickly after the first dose, the effectiveness of the medicine is undeniable, but the overwhelming pressure for its success may corrupt the experiment and everyone involved. The Pleasure Trials is an insightful and entertaining examination of women, sexual desire, and the burden of meeting expectations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europa (3W,1M) – On a quiet day, in a neighborhood park, Leslie and Alma met for the first time. As their children play, the women discover they know the same man. Leslie listens. Alma tries to leave but Leslie\u2019s the best listener she\u2019s ever met. Fourteen years later, their children are almost grown. Bruce wants Louise. Louise wants freedom. What happens after truths are told?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Perfect Robot \u2013 (3M, 3W) A marvel of art and technology, Mollybot is an almost perfect and affordable soulmate. When her creator goes off in search of the last missing piece to her soul, her machinery is left vulnerable to the commercial and jealous side of creation. Her body and programming are threatened.  With only Alan Turing at her side, can Mollybot scale the distance between robot and human, subject and self?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tender Rough Rough Tender \u2013 (1M, 1W) It\u2019s the hottest summer on record and Bell\u2019s picked drinking over people. Mike\u2019s got experience fighting fires but their attraction is a whole new disaster. What does it take to know someone? A sad catchy dance song of a play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scarlet Letter (6W,4M) – A new play based on a classic story. Hester Prynne has been sentenced to wear a scarlet letter. Her young daughter Pearl asks questions Hester can\u2019t easily answer. And then a familiar stranger comes to town\u2026 This adaptation offers fresh interpretations, an expanded cast of characters, and new insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Caldera (3W) – Best friends Lizzie and Maggie hit the open road in search of\u00a0health\u00a0care. Up in the New Mexico mountains, between the fabled country of California and the restrictive lands of Texas, they find themselves. A play about choice, freedom, and addictive tv shows.\u00a0
