Written by Tony Ayres
PERFORMANCE DATES: April 12, 13, 19, 20 at 8pm; 14 and 21 at 2pm
ABOUT THE PLAY: Trevor's just a lonely boy looking for love. But love has made a detour around him. Is it because he's fat, gay and squeals like a girl? Or because his mother's a vulgar, sex-obsessed psychic? Whatever the reason, everything he touches falls to bits: relationships crumble, lives are lost and warts sprout in the most unseemly places. Gleefully raiding the tempo and color of pop culture, this is a hilarious domestic horror story about love, desire and other monstrous appetites that will worm its scandalous way into your heart.

ON THE SPECTRUM
Written by Ken LaZebnik
PRODUCTION DATES: October 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19 at 8pm; 13 and 20 at 2pm
ABOUT THE PLAY: Is autism a disability or a difference? This simple but profound question is at the center of a new play by Ken LaZebnik. A young man with Asperger's, passing as "typical" after years of mainstreaming and therapy, connects with a woman who proudly champions her autism as a difference, not a disorder. This love story between an "aspie" and an "autie" reveals the contradictions between finding success as yourself and on the world's terms, and the conflict between the desire for acceptance and the desire for achievement.
