THE CREATIONISTS

Three mystery characters are suddenly set adrift when their narrator abandons his tale

mid-story. Threatened with erasure and oblivion, the three orphaned characters set off

across the pantheon of English literature to try and find their narrator, and themselves,

again. A subversive farce; an anarchically outrageous chase through famous literature;

a sly meditation on identity.

 

Flexible cast, 7 works best. 90 mins.

DEPARTURES

The Morales family kills people. Or, more accurately, are in the business of "reaping"

souls. After the unexpected death of his brother, Grimm, music blogger Moth Morales

is jolted out of his slacker ways and forced to take up the family business. A dark

comedy that includes train wrecks, conspiracies, heart attacks, paranoid best friends,

cheesy training videos, and the immortal music of the beach boys, "Departures"

examines the twists and turns one takes on the road to dusty death.  

 

Flexible cast, 8-9 works best. 120 mins.

THE MODEL FRONT

It's the era of prohibition and an upstanding ice cream parlor owner is tempted

to turn his family business into a speakeasy. Meanwhile, across town, a man

begins an illicit love affair with his best friend - with disasterous consequences.

Two stories ripped from the jazz age of America interlock to form an evening of 

deception, jealousy, morality, and redemption - at any cost.
