Boy meets girl. Girl falls for boy. Peter and Lacey seem like average people looking to add the spark back into their lives. Or are they? This play explores one afternoon at a coffee shop in which two people engage in what seems like ordinary courtship.

Morning in a typical family kitchen....complete with audience participation...

After getting some bad news, all Clark wants is a little compassion...and a baked potato. Staci, his no-nonsense waitress, is not inclined to give him either.

Stabbing is no laughing matter, except when it is. Emily and Brad work out some relationship issues while he exsanguinates. It's funnier than you think.

Have you ever been so stuck in a routine that it scares you? What if the "scary part" was an intimidating friend name Cam and that routine was simply a poker game? Watch as four friends, who know way too much about each other (especially their weaknesses), try to sway each other to succumb to the scariest intangible of all...chance! Place your bets and see if you can keep your game face on.

At the edge of the Grand Canyon, an older couple comforts a young woman struggling over whether to leave her husband; but when it comes to love and marriage, there are no easy answers.

Three coworkers explore their feelings about 9/11 several years later and wonder if they'll ever be free to move on from the fear and sadness of that day. (Please note that this play does contain some gentle black humor.) World Premiere Performance!

Not your average day at the zoo. When Dan (a non-appearing character) jumps into the lion enclosure to realize his dream of hanging out with lions, his family must frantically convince him to return to safety. Or must they? World Premiere Performance!
