The New Sign by C. Rusch. Directed by Larry Rosen
Two workers in a southern U.S. town outside a military base put up signs in front of a restaurant and wonder what these signs should and shouldn’t say.
The Uncaring Dog by Leslie Bramm. Directed by Virginia Scott
An extended metaphor for the events of 9/11 involves a crippled young boy struggling with a dog at the end of a leash to prove how random fate can be.
No One written and directed by Julia Barclay
A meditation on where we are now, using the primary themes of non-violence, war, the need for adequate translators, and the identity of the “enemy.” A different group of actors read through the play each night.
