A schlubby man needs to dry his wet clothes at the laundromat, but he is one quarter short. He hatches a scheme to obtain the requisite coin, through charming an unsuspecting stranger, or, if all else fails, through thievery. His intended victim, a woman with her own problems, responds in interesting ways to his overtures and awkward attempts at slight-of-hand.
"NUTS!"
by T. James Belich

by Toni Egger
Directed by Toni Egger
Cast: Anna King * Skylar Clemens * Hunter Snyder * Kim Meredith * Toni Egger
Based on the award-winning, best-selling book, "Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation," by evolutionary biologist, Olivia Judson, this ten-minute play explores an array of unusual animal mating habits. Dr. Tatiana - the celebrated Agony Aunt to the Animal Kingdom - gives advice to everything from worms with a hundred penises, to a beetle who gives birth to her son, has sex with him and then eats him. In this play, you'll meet an armadillo, an elephant, a corpse beetle and a manatee, each with their own sexual challenges. Entertaining natural history!
"Critics Choice"
by L.H. Grant
Directed by Brian Kenyon
Cast: Andrew Carmichael * Richard Granger * Anna King
Immediately after an opening night the two lead actors - who are also boyfriend and girlfriend - are backstage. Unbeknownst to them a renowned critic walks in after seeing the performance.

by David MacGregor
Directed by Beata Randall
Cast: Lois Bangiolo * Steve LeBlanc * Molly Elsasser * Julie Frew
Lunchroom with coworkers. One coworker tired of having their lunches stolen repeatedly from the fridge, makes poison brownies to teach the fridge thief a lesson.
"The Way to a Mans Heart"
by Barbara Lindsay

A lively woman brings a warm breakfast treat to a widowed nice man. She, a widower herself, ambushes him with a marriage proposal. Sometimes an ambush is just what we need to help us see the obvious.
