> "Don't Eat The Red Locusts"
. . . Shunning the "typical tourist safari," an Afro Pop music fan joins an academic music research team in a war-torn African nation. But her dreams of cultural immersion are eclipsed by her fears of bugs and disease. Don't Eat The Red Locusts is an excerpt from Deirdre's solo piece Into Africa.

> "Sexico"
. . . After years of lackluster relationships, Vanessa finally has met a man who wants to treat her right and take her on a romantic vacation. And unlike past suitors, this guy has a respectable job, doesn't live with his parents and he wants nothing more than to be a good boy- friend. Sure they just met a few days ago and don't really know each other, but what
could possibly go wrong?

B R I A N R O S E N
> "Failing That" (a solo opera)
. . . Everything's falling apart! A middle school student can't even eke out a somersault in gymnastics class, a college student is taking a final in a subject he knows nothing about, and a self defense instructor gets mugged in a dark alley. And for some reason, all of them are singing. "Failing That" is a miniature opera that follows three characters (all played by Brian) as they experience the failures that will follow them for the rest of their lives.
