The Chalk Boy

The Chalk Boy
(West Coast premiere)
September 4 - October 12th, 2008

Starring: Amy Patrice Golden, Claire Blocking, Sarah Rosenberg, Sonora Chase
Written By Joshua Conkel
Directed By Courtney Sale

Beneath its boring facade there is more going on in the tiny town of Clear Creek than the opening of the new Taco Bell. Four of the town's local girls are here to take you on a tour of their funny, yet brutal reality. They struggle with faith, friendship, sex, the occult, algebra, and the disappearance of . . . The Chalk Boy. This is a deathly black comedy that punches as hard as your high school bully.

Dias Y Flores

Dias y Flores
(World Premiere)
Janurary 16 - Februrary 8, 2009

Starring: Miguel Angel Caballero, Marlene Forte, Justin Huen, Melvin Rodriguez, Carolyn Zeller
Written By Oliver Mayor
Directed By Luis Alfaro

A meditation on love -- gay, straight and filial. Testing which love is strongest, the play is loosely based on "A Thousand and One Nights." It uses the music of Cuban trovador Silvio Rodriguez and Beethoven, played live. It also looks at the changing face of Latino identity as Mexican culture invades the very heart of Nuyorican soul.
