Eric Zipper鈥檚 old-school melodrama We鈥檙e not So Different, You and I pits the world鈥檚 greatest criminal against the world鈥檚 greatest detective deep within the confines of a underground London prison cell. In the face of a murder that is personal to both of them, they confront the essential questions of good vs. evil only to find that one cannot exist without the other.

Home Made and Eco-Friendly, a farcical romp by Dana Vigran, confronts the myths of gender roles through the story of a young man who falls in love at first sight with a socially-minded young woman who ironically cares only about herself. With a delightfully over-bearing mother and a father who lives in his heating vents, the pressure of matrimonial bliss becomes heartbreak havoc.

Gladys Angle鈥檚 musical romp Fall of the J鈥檚 finds young Esteban De la Cruz a stranger in a strange land when he transfers to a new high school that features a triumvirate of basketball-wielding bullies, a crazy head nun, and the girl of his dreams. All the while a Greek chorus that doubles as the school鈥檚 show choir provides eerily funny musical comment.
