1) BLACKBERRY WINTER by Kai Elijah Hamiliton
     An African American mother finds herself in the abandoned house from her dreams.  This is the house she suspects her child has been held captive after his abduction.  Has she finally solved the mystery that has haunted her for years or is she caught in a sinister web of trickery?  Something just ain’t right.
 
 
 
2)  THE G69 TRIPLE X-TREME OSCILLATOR

By Peter M. Carrozzo
A couple’s discussion about the arrival of a newly purchased sexual device is complicated by the wife’s accidentally misplacing the instructions.  Their search for the whereabouts leads them into several unanticipated discoveries.

 
3) THE COMMUTERS or A CAUTIONARY TALE OF THE PORT AUTHORITYA Musical 

By Gil Varod, Caleb Damschroder & 
Kit Goldstein Grant
Christopher Michaels (Producer)
When a recently-sacked MTA executive wanders the port Authority Bus Terminal after midnight, the plaster “Commuters” sculpture comes alive to warn him how he is to pay for his subway-related sins.  A one-act horror musical that played to uproarious laughter during its initial reading at Lincoln Center’s “Across A Crowded Room” festival.

Avoid the Port Authority after midnight.

4) EXPRESS TRAINBy Michael Selditch

Two very different men reluctantly bond on a subway train stuck between stops late one night. As one man unwillingly reveals an incriminating secret that's haunted him for years, the other finds his own value, in this dark comedy set 40 feet below Times Square. 

5) A VIEW FROM THE BACKBy Shi, Yi


Who contemplates the questions of love, death and violence in a taxi?

6) GARBAGEBy John Michael Wagner


When a college kid sentenced to community service reports to a sanitation worker, they discover they each carry a lot of garbage. Together they learn what stinks and what's worth keeping.  Based on a true story.


7) THE EARLY BIRD SPECIALBy John J. Ronan

A martini to die for, the old folks are really.
