BRIAN M ROSEN
"Failing That" - a solo opera
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's just a somersault in a gym packed with jeering middle school students. Or an engineering final after a week without sleep that will make the difference between passing or flunking out of college. Or even just a brief walk in the darkened alleys of a bad neighborhood. Whether the task is trivial or life threatening, these three characters manage to screw it up in equally magnificent fashion. This is not like any other opera you've ever seen.
KATE ROBARDS
"Mandarin Orange"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eager to shake the dust off her life in Orange, Texas, Kate moves as far away as possible, to Shanghai, China. After arriving in the world's biggest city, Kate befriends posh expat American women, takes a job in at an advertising agency, and becomes nostalgic for her small town, which from far away, begins to seem almost as exotic as Shanghai.
ZAHRA NOORBAKHSH
"Hijab and Hammerpants"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's scarier: the wrath of God, or peer-pressuring, grunge-minded pre-teens? While cheating on a religion test in Muslim Sunday school, 12-year-old Zahra discovers it's up to her to save her mother from hell by wearing the Muslim headscarf, hijab -- even though her mom already wears hijab. And, even though her hijab-wearing mom doesn't want Zahra to wear it. Nope. All mom wants is for Zahra to fit-in with the popular kids, by sporting a pair of banana-yellow MC Hammerpants to her first day of 7th grade, so that everyone can see her "bright" personality. Will it be middle school hell, or fire-and-brimstone hell that gets this 12 year old to change up her back-to-school wardrobe?
