Some things never change. Nell has fallen so deeply in love with Brent that every man she sees reminds her of him. Sleeping with every man who reminds her of him - which is every man - is an act of love and belief for her. But that's not the way the world sees it. Her sister, Coco, comes back to their childhood home in Texas to rescue her, but Nell doesn't want rescuing. She wants to be alive. And then two men...

Human spontaneous combustion is not something that most people worry about, but Amalia Parker does, and that's why she won't sleep with Rob. Sex with someone she doesn't care about might not be so dangerous, but with the man she truly loves? A definite possibility. This is the kind of logic that only makes sense in the Parker household, where Mom cooks obsessively, Dad has turned the house into an 18-hole golf course, and ancient maiden Aunt Emily does laundry and practices the family art of selective sight. A sweet, quirky comedy. The critics on Sherry Kramer's plays: DAVID'S REDHAIRED...

The perfect rent-controlled New York City apartment has one fatal flaw - the roommate from hell. The play takes place on the day the newest roommate can't take it anymore. Classic humor of mistaken identity mixed with new-age twists. THE WALL OF WATER is farce with all the sharp edges showing - it is an intractably woven tale that tackles subjects as serious as death and as important as scientific inquiry, and everything in between. A farce about the nature of madness, the way it is infectious, how we treat it and how we decided who is and who isn't. A play with four leading roles for young...

The Faust story is one of our eternal myths - a story about striving, about always wanting more, about the struggle to know more, feel more, be more like God.
