Book excerpt: All in Little Pieces:Molly's trying to sell a house to Mary, but it soon becomes apparent that Mary is not there to buy. The play becomes very engaging as the women talk and get to know each other. It almost seems as if they're made for each other, but the action twists and suddenly Molly realizes that Mary is perhaps not as stable as she seems, and that in fact, she's actually rather frightening. ** The Casseroles of Far Rockaway ** Feet of Clay: Two men sit out a rainy day in a remote mountain cabin while their wives shop in the town. Vaughan has been a welcome benefactor to the down-on-his-luck Clay since their recent meeting at a public pool. But Vaughan's benevolence is motivated by something beyond his desire to help his fellow man, and he just can't keep it a secret a moment longer. Will Clay have the same desire? If not, will he at least have a price? And if so, can Vaughan afford to pay it? To find out the answers, be a fly-or maybe a mosquito-on the sweaty wall of that cabin, and watch this Heidemann Award Finalist, that Marta Barber of the Miami Herald called "hilarious and well-written." ** The King and the Condemned: Comedy ensues when a troop of actors refuse to perform their poorly written, low budget production, holding the audience captive. When one audience member, Daniel, attempts to leave, the actors force him onstage where he enters their world. Here he must contend with a lustful princess, a brutish guard, an obnoxious clown and an egotistical king. If he can defeat their characters, he will go free; but if he fails, he will be trapped onstage with them forever. **My Wife's Coat: Peter comes into the bedroom at his bon voyage party to get his wife's coat from the pile on the bed, only to discover his mistress wearing it. She wants him to stay with her, but he's packing up his kids and wife and moving across country for his new promotion. She asks him for one last request before she'll relinquish the coat, not for sex, but simply for him to lie on top of her. He does so for a brief, sad moment, then takes the coat and leaves, as she continues to lie on the pile of coats in despair. **The Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda: The Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characters: 1 male, 2 femaleUnit SetRebecca and her chronically unemployed butch girlfriend, O, have created a happy nest in their run-down walk-up in Queens, but things are starting to unravel. The more O pushes Rebecca to stop hiding their relationship, the more Rebecca's work life-writing a textbook for seventh graders about the Holocaust- begins to bleed into her personal life: She starts meeting World War II Nazis on the 7 train, passing as hipster professionals in New York City but hungry to come out about who they really are. Back home in Queens, O is also sparring with convincingly real visions: her long estranged-and recently dead?-mother keeps showing up to argue with her about her choices. This almost-love story explores the relationship between honesty and cruelty: How do you tell the truth about yourself when that truth might devastate the people you love?
