The Comet Night: a play in two acts "Will they ever know the truth about the Comet Night? That night that shattered their lives." What happened that night, that night when the Comet sparkled in the heavens, and their lives were shattered - that night their loving, Christian father beat their older brother nearly to death? Neither will say. The next morning the battered brother leaves never to speak to them again. And the terrible vigil begins for the three younger kids - when will it happen to them? It never does, but now they're adults and their father's dead. The three return with deep emotional scars, hoping when their older brother comes, they'll finally know the truth. When they do, will it be even more devastating than they can imagine? The Function of Dysfunction: a Play in Two Acts "Secrets live to be exposed And this family has 'em." The Jones' are just your average Christian family. They have a daughter who's deserted them to become a rebellious movie star, another who hates them and uses them only as a babysitter, another who's brilliant in school but battles alcohol to forget (what they're not sure), and a college age son who instead of going to college invents weird stuff in the basement. Even for all this, they've managed to find a sort of equilibrium - until the movie star daughter comes home to specifically to stir things up. Will this family survive? Will they even want to?
