Milk Milk Lemonade
By Joshua Conkel
Emory is an effeminate 11-year-old boy who lives on a farm with his chain smoking Nanna and his only friend, a depressed chicken about to be processed. Nanna wishes Emory would get his head out of the clouds, stop choreographing ribbon stick dance numbers, and be more like Elliot, the boy down the road with a penchant for burning things. But Emory and Elliot have a relationship -- just not one Nanna would expect or approve of. With absurd, poignant dialog and brutal characterizations, MilkMilkLemonade is a bitterly funny exploration of gender, sexuality, life, death, and the human body.

Sundays on the Rocks
By Theresa Rebeck
MATURE CONTENT
On a beautiful Sunday morning in mid-October, three housemates decide to have scotch for breakfast in this play by celebrated playwright Theresa Rebeck. Elly is pregnant and considering an abortion, Jen is being harassed by a co-worker who is obsessed with her, and Gayle just feels a bit lost. Their problems are compounded by a fourth roommate, Jessica, who has little compassion for their confused attempts to make sense of life. As they drink, joke, and argue it becomes clear how difficult it is to make a moral decision in an increasingly complex world
