Walter Corwin's 4 PLAYS AND A CHORUS to be Presented at Theater For The New City

A series of interlinked short comedic vignettes following the ins-and-outs of a typical New York family composed of a neurotic adjuct English professor (who may in fact be Moses) his wife, and their dead-pan son. Looking at the funny side of the artist's life, the death of American education and why won't the damn kids have some grandchildren already?
