They may go to the same school, but misfits Solomon, Diwata and Howie have never met and their teachers and peers just don't take them seriously - until a sex scandal involving one of their teachers brings them together. Soon they realize that three voices are stronger than one. And since their school has no speech and debate squad, maybe this is their chance to be heard at last - by the school and even the world.

Story
Macon and Bess are two mail-order brides, lured to the West of the 1860s by the promise of new beginnings through marriage to men they've never met. While waiting for their respective husbands-to-be, one bubbling with optimism, the other mousy and plain, the two women become instant best friends. As Abundance follows the two women through their friendship and adventures for the next 25 years, this Western epic unearths the dark underside of American mythology.

This play is a powerful account of the case filed by the American Federation for Equal Rights (AFER) in the U.S. District Court in 2010 to overturn Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment that eliminated the rights of same-sex couples to marry in the state of California. Framed around the trial's historic closing arguments in June 2010, 8 provides an intimate look at what unfolded when the issue of same-sex marriage was on trial.

Story
Henry may be the wittiest playwright of his generation, but he’s hopelessly naïve when it comes to understanding love and infidelity. Writing about betrayal is one thing, living with it is another. After Henry leaves his wife for another woman, he’s confronted with being the cuckold himself. Both dazzlingly clever and emotionally naked, Henry’s search for the “the real thing” in art and love demonstrates beautifully why both are worth the effort in the end.

Brilliant text
The book for this production is brilliant: acerbic, perceptive, and tragic—frequently all at once. The audiobook version suffers, of course, from our inability to see the action, but for all that, the play is marvelously scripted. The performance was a bit frantic at times, which made for difficult comprehension, but this was well worth an hour and a half.

Hideous
I purchased this book thinking it would offer additional insights to the Enron debacle. Hundreds, probably thousands of Americans lost their jobs and their pensions due to the malfeasance of Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling and Andy Fastow. To make this into a “comedy” is disgusting. I’d be willing to bet that few, if any, of the theater goers understand Mark to Market accounting or special purpose entities, but all who saw this farce should be aware of the depth of despair this accounting scandal caused. To make it into a joke is not funny.
