Synopsis
THE STORIES: UP, DOWN, STRANGE, CHARMED, BEAUTY, AND TRUTH.
A pair of teenage sisters struggle to escape their drug-addled mother with help from their favorite down-on-his-luck uncle.
Thanks to a series of wholly organic yet startlingly unexpected plot twists, neither the characters nor their situations are how they seemed when the play began.
(1 man, 2 women.) LILA ON THE WALL.
Journalist Lila must investigate a three-month-old story about a woman who saw Jesus’ face on a graffiti-laden wall.
But the woman who saw it is off on a tour in Italy, and Carl, a young cameraman who prides himself in figuring out “emotional landscapes,” is determined to make Lila believe in something again.
(1 man, 1 woman.) MAFIA ON PROZAC.
Jay and Tee are a couple of hit-men sitting by the ocean and reflecting on how their lives turned out.

When Al Capone visits in a dream, the outraged and desperate Matt gets dragged into refereeing the hit-men’s argument about the mob’s future.
(3 men.)
