A
Steady Rain
a
drama by Keith Huff
A duologue filled with sharp storytelling and biting repartee, A STEADY RAIN
explores the complexities of a lifelong bond tainted by domestic affairs,
violence, and the rough streets of Chicago.
Joey and Denny have been best
friends since kindergarten, and after working together for several years as
policemen in Chicago, they are practically family: Joey helps out with Denny's
wife and kids; Denny keeps Joey away from the bottle. But when a domestic
disturbance call takes a turn for the worse, their friendship is put on the
line.
The result is a harrowing journey into a moral gray area where trust and
loyalty struggle for survival against a sobering backdrop of pimps, prostitutes,
and criminal lowlifes.

Aliens
With Extraordinary Skills
a
comedy-drama by Saviana Stanescu
Based on true stories of
immigration, the subject is explored and fictionalized by a playwright who tries
to understand her own story. The moral of the "fable" might be that - regardless
of our passport and native language - we are all "aliens" in search for love,
understanding and a place to call "home".
A clown from the "unhappiest country in the world", Moldova, pins her hopes on a
US work visa. Chased by Homeland Security, a deportation letter deflates Nadia's
enthusiasm and a pair of spike heels might be all it takes to burst her American
Dream (or turn it into a nightmare). New York City, with its special energy,
seems like the perfect solution for her problems, but is it really? Luckily,
Nadia is not alone in her journey: A Russian illegal immigrant, Borat, her
fellow clown, tries to find his own path in the Big Apple. Lupita, her Latina
roommate, an exotic dancer and wanna-be actress, shows Nadia the tough side of
the city. Meanwhile, Bob, an American washed-up musician finds himself in a
relationship with the Moldovan girl.

These
Shining Lives
a comedy-drama by Melanie Marnich
Based on the true story of the women who worked for The Radium Dial Company in
the 1920s and '30s, this chronicles the strength and determination of women
considered expendable in their day, exploring their true story and its continued
resonance. Catherine and her friends are dying, it's true; but theirs is a story
of survival in its most transcendent sense, as they refuse to allow the company
that stole their health to kill their spirits—or endanger the lives of those who
come after them.

Distracted
a comedy by Lisa LoomerWhat's
wrong with nine-year-old Jesse? He can't sit still, he curses, he raps, and you
can't get him into—or out of—pajamas. His teacher thinks it's Attention Deficit
Disorder. Dad says, "He's just a boy!" And Mama's on a quest for answers. Is
Jesse dysfunctional, or just different? Don't we all have ADD, to some degree?
She consults a psychologist, a homeopath, a neuropsychologist, and an
environmental physician. She talks to neighbors, whose kids have their own
diagnoses. A psychiatrist prescribes Ritalin for Jesse, but surely a pill can't
solve all of his problems. Throughout, Jesse is an offstage voice, becoming
louder and angrier, but he is in danger of fading away. And his parents'
marriage is in peril. Everyone is distracted, even the actors—they're breaking
character! A hilarious, provocative, and poignant look at a modern family and an
epidemic dilemma: Are we so tuned into our 24/7 info-rich world that we've tuned
out what really matters?

Days
