Set in a state-run mental institution and, at times, in the minds of the patients, Asylum explores the flip side of sanity.

In the wry...

GHOST LIGHT

The life of theatre geeks: diva battles, wise techies, know-it-all costumers, and shy sound designers. Throw in athletes bit by the acting bug, a theatrical promposal, a college audition, a play written in stage directions, and you have nine short plays showcasing high school theatre life.

HEALERS

Andrea comes from a family of nurses, a long tradition stemming from the women in her family’s intense desire to heal. As Andrea’s monologue to a temp agency unfolds, we realize that her family has a darker legacy. The women in her family have often been victims of domestic abuse, a trauma Andrea has only recently escaped from. Andrea begins to connect her family’s pattern of...

MANHATTAN MEDIUM

Everyone’s a skeptic and that’s bad for Manhattan’s once famous TV medium, Miriam. With no clients, business is dwindling and to make matters worse she’s stuck at home with her two children—Tina, whose traditional standards are far too high and Tommy, who has no personal standards at all. However, tonight, is the night things change, when Clary—a disbeliever with old...

UNSOUND EFFECTS

It’s 1938, the Golden Age of Radio, but things are not so golden at radio station KTSK. Their best show, “Polly in Peril” is plummeting in the ratings. This is mainly due to Benny, their disastrous sound man who always manages to play the wrong sound at the wrong time. Everyone tries their best to turn things around: the voice actors, the director, even the handyman, but...
