KARA & EMMA & BARBARA & MIRANDA

Full-length

A play that intertwines the lives of four women from different generations and social strata in New Mexico. Kara wakes up to find her husband and children missing. Twenty-year-old Emma runs away with a married man. Barbara’s ex-lover breaks into her home in the middle of the night. And the pipes in Miranda’s house burst.

Through a tapestry of internal monologues and scenes, KARA & EMMA & BARBARA
& MIRANDA follows the journey of four women whose major life crises collide on Christmas Eve, leading them to accidentally help each other find a way out. A stellar downtown cast offers up this boldly funny, occasionally off-kilter, and deeply honest play about isolation, resilience, and the healing power of community.

The Only Girl in the Hot Tub

Full-length

It's the day before Christmas Eve and all Annie wants is to make some new friends at the fitness club. Derek, maybe new friend material, wants to perform well on the first day of his after-school job. His buddy Gene just wants to make his dad, the owner of the club, proud. But, when heartthrob Ray shows up for his workout sesh, the fitness club and its operating policies get turned upside down. This dark comedy, about after-school jobs, hot-tubbing, and rape culture in a small affluent and not so affluent community in Northern New Mexico, tells the story of teens attempting to navigate the convoluted world of adults, while the adults wreak havoc on their sense of right and wrong.
