COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED)
By Adam Long, Reed Martin & Austin Tichenor

All of William Shakespeare’s 37 plays (17 comedies, 10 histories, and 10 tragedies), are performed in 90 minutes by 3 extremely energetic actors. Witness Othello turned into a rap, Titus Andronicus as a cooking show, a sock puppet version of Hamlet, and much more. Why? Because life is short and the complete works of Shakespeare are long.

GREATER TUNA
By Jason Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard

A hilarious comedy of small town life in Tuna, Texas. A place where the Lions Club is viewed as suspiciously liberal; where rock ‘n roll records are burned; and where the high school essay contest produces entries such as "Human Rights-Why Bother?” With only 3 actors portraying 40+ different characters, the show paints a wickedly amusing panorama of small-town life.

Perfect Wedding
By Robin Hawdon

A man wakes up in the bridal suite on his wedding morning to find a beautiful (and naked) girl in bed beside him. In the depths of a stag night hangover, he can't remember a thing. Before he can get the girl out, the bride arrives to dress for the wedding and, in the ensuing panic, the naked girl is locked in the bathroom. Perfect Wedding is a rare combination of riotous farce and touching love story.

Trading Post
By Larry Ketron

Wallace, the middle-aged owner of a secondhand shop in rural Tennessee, is about to bid a reluctant farewell to his long-time lady friend, Claudia, who is going off to Canada to care for her ailing sister. In contrast to the relationship of these reluctant lovers is the affair between Wallace's son and Claudia's daughter, passionate but marked with equal indecisiveness. The interplay of these four very believable and endearing people, leads to the clever resolution of the play—where things are set right in a most unexpected way.
