Take Down Your Panties On Main Street synopsis
The difference between an artist and a kleptomaniac is that one of them is carrying an easel.
A famous painter visits an art school class to make a few remarks at the request of the class's teacher. However, the teacher never turns up, having eloped with the class's nude model. Since the class has nothing to paint and no one to teach them the famous painter steps up to the posing platform. His "few remarks" reveal more than dropped panties ever could.
An uncomfortable comedy about what happens when preservation of beauty becomes a partnership with posers, parasites and pervs.
Written and performed by James Howell
directed by Kiersten Tough

Lay Down And Love Me Again synopsis
Some people apply the ointment. Some people pick the scabs.
Kevin wants to stage a solo show but cannot manage to leave his bedroom or pull himself away from his daydreams. His reminiscences become monologues about people who talk exclusively in cliche, while imagining themselves to be terribly profound. Pajama-clad, he performs for an imaginary audience on subjects at once dark and ridiculous: bargain shopping for abortion clinics, chastising the comatose while enjoying fresh produce, hijacking funerals in search of "spiritual DNA" and sleeping with your students while drinking alone. Skipping gleefully between subjects, he sends up solo shows and our culture of confession.
A dark comedy that tickles from the bottom of your heart to the depth of your undies.
