Tom

​

You’re in a real apartment. You are seated on the couch. The TV turns on, and episode 3 of season 2 of Frasier (“The Matchmaker”) plays. The episode is a classic Frasier-ian farce, in which Frasier’s co-worker sets him up on a date with his gay boss, Tom, as a prank. When the episode ends, the credits play. The sun has set outside. It’s dark. You are alone. And then the door opens: It’s Tom.

Rooster Teeth

Flexible casting

 

Rooster Teeth is a collection of thirty short plays, each written on one day over the course of a seemingly ordinary month. As Will and James fight, play, laugh, cry, and worry about expiration dates, the world around them continuously intrudes over the course of the month. Each scene is inspired by an event occurring that day, resulting in a kind of documentary play that reflects the emotional chaos and absurdity of the world today.

Waiting for the Barbarians

A man in a bar about to put on a play tells stories to stall as he waits for all of his guests to arrive. His struggle to fill the time leads him into a gay fantasia on authoritarian themes and coaxes the audience into exploring what it means to live in a liminal time. Adapted from the poem by C.P. Cavafy.
