Show Descriptions:
ALLERGIC ME -- written and performed by Kennedy Waterman; directed by Jeff Swearingen. For 13-year-old Waterman, a peanut is a huge deal. Her monologue, accompanied by a short film, chronicles her challenges and her ongoing battle to beat severe peanut allergy.
BOUNCING UGLY -- written and performed by Danny O'Connor. A series of stories about the hopes and struggles of an actor working a night job as a bouncer at NYC's rough-and-tumble Coyote Ugly bar.
THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM -- written and directed by Bruce R. Coleman; performed by LisaAnne Haram. The vice principal of a middle school, at the end of her tether, confronts the mother of one particularly nasty student, giving her a reality check.
I BROUGHT HOME A CHUPACABRA -- written by Brad McEntire; directed by Ruth Engel-McEntire; performed by Lauren Moore. A young woman finds a semi-mysthical beast on a hike and brings it home. During the next few days she is forced to figure out why she connects better with animals than people.
MELVA TOSTI ATTENDS CAREER DAY -- written and performed by Andi Allen. Aging opera diva Melva Tosti is invited to speak at Mario Lanza High School Career Day. Answering questions off cards, Madame Tosti shares stories of her life as the "Diva Formaggio."
OSTINATO -- written and directed by Natalie Gaupp; performed by Katie Weekley. With the Yeats poem "He Who Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" as background, a meaningless but obsessively consuming act -- making mac and cheese -- becomes a metaphor for a life devoured by banality.
SHE ALWAYS PICKED ME -- Written and directed by Kate Lowry; performed by Dillon Sherrod. A look at love and what happened between friends.
TYLER'S MOM -- written by Benjamin Schroth; directed by Greg Phillips. Tyler's mom is having a rough morning. She sits down at the kitchen table and unloads on topics of life, death and pets.
