Chekhov used to say, I have my own theater, and people assumed he was talking about the Moscow Art Theatre, but then Chekhov would tap his forehead and say, . . . in here.

America’s New War Strikes Back! A play about characters whose lives are determined by events that are happening to everyone right NOW! Remembrance of Fancy Nancy Past or In Search of Lost Tim Marcel Proust and a Marxist Historian lend their hands to a failed marriage that has left in its wake two damaged children, a grieving husband, and a runaway wife. Blood A Man, a Woman. An Old Man, and Old Woman. Blood coursing through their veins, pumping, pulsing. They wound themselves, each other, inside and out. Blood flows, messy, sticky, ugly, beautiful, until finally it stops.
The Votive Pit The American Dream of public education has turned nightmare. School has become a votive pit, a trench we have dug and into which we pour the blood of our kids, so that the spirits of the dead may speak truths to us. Are we going to listen or not? Agons to Arupa Chiarini’s Homeless "This play is set along the banks of Sweetwater Branch, which runs through the world of the homeless in downtown Gainesville – through the Jungle, a homeless campground no one fusses about too much, since it is a place where toxic waste bubbles out of the ground; past St. Francis house, a shelter and soup kitchen; under the John Kelly Power Plant; through the green space of live oaks and hanging vines; past the Salvation Army. . ."

Boston Baked Bean Coach J is a black man trapped in a dead-end job at a poverty-stricken, rural public school in north-central Florida. His best friend is a tobacco-chewing, foul-mouthed redneck named Jerry Renko. Basically a two-hander for a Black actor and a white actor. However, there is a third important character, Carlucci, who is also white, the athletic director and straw man, who is a liberal apologist for the system.
The Game Game It’s the early ‘80s version of channel-surfing: everything that happens on tv in an hour, when the best thing that’s on is "The Game Game," a wacky game show hosted by Blink Nightengale, where "bogus" points are awarded and brain cells deducted. For Three Men and a Woman, who play about 30 characters. Play Money A Pig meets a Weasel, who fleeces him and kills him. Act Two takes place in Heaven.

The Voyage of a Coral Prince Don’t see many of these anymore. A Satyr Play. That’s right, a modern-day satyr play. The original satyr plays were presented in the ancient Greek festivals, and in them the playwrights brazenly satirized their own tragic themes. This satyr play takes place in Key West, where the Ghost of Tennessee Williams grins upon a gay Orestia.
