Plays
LOOKING UP - a play with trapeze

When a daring trapeze artist climbs down to earth, and a frustrated bartender looks up from his speed rack, true love beckons. But even the best relationships can have trouble getting off the ground. Part traditional theater,part aerial performance, the sum total is a wholly engaging production that's impossible to resist.





FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Chaos theory, brunch, gravity, homophobia, married men, and potent margaritas are the dragons the characters battle in these urban fairytales.
