Set on the West Coast of Florida during the moon launch era of the early 70s, "Fastened to The Moon" is a serio-comic absurdist tale shifting into alternate realities. It centers around a neglected young wife who takes refuge from her loneliness with daydreams of astronauts. Her reverie is temporarily interrupted by a pair of tenacious sheriffs on the hunt for her homicidal, drug trafficking husband. The cast features Pëtra Dennison (The Drilling Company), Ryan Clardy* (Arena Stage: A Man's A Man), Nick Walther (Theater Breaking Through Barriers), Donna Wandrey* (Broadway's The Norman Conquests, TV's Dark Shadows) and Ryan Wesen (Amazon Prime's Axcellerator). *(Members of Actors Equity)

A fast-paced farcical comedy, "Love, Sex and Real Estate" is about a summer of crisis in the life of a gay teenage boy, Ugo, and his family. When Ugo discovers that his mother, a frequently absent international banker, is having an affair with the family's real estate broker he reaches out to their landlord, Sol, for advice and the two develop an unlikely bond. But when Ugo makes the mistake of revealing the affair to his father, Valter, a highly unsuccessful East German artist, pandemonium ensues as an enraged Valter confronts all of them. Featured in the cast are Frank Hankey* (The Cocktail Hour Off Broadway),Rohan Lilien (The Candy Store),Katharine McLeod* (Actors Theater of Louisville), Eric Percival*(MITF Best Actor) and Roger Hendricks Simon*(Love in Kilnerry).
