A Soldier's Death
by Tom O'Neil (Jack Kerouac - Last Call)
Directed by Tony Pennino
It is, as the title implies, about the death of a soldier. Whose side is he on? Who is he fighting? What war is he in? These are questions that are never answered. But in the state between life and death, he believes he is with his family again. When they vanish from his mind, two other soldiers arrive to bury him. Mr. O'Neil's play explores issues of redemption, guilt, love and the passing of the torch.

JACK KEROUAC - LAST CALL
A new play by Tom O'Neil
Directed by Stanley Harrison
Dream Sequence Choreography by Lara Hayes-Giles
SYNOPSIS: Jack Kerouac spent his last night on earth in a small bungalow located in St. Petersburg, Florida, his last residence. It is October 21, 1969. Visions of his past come back in waves of both exhilaration and doom, representing the true dichotomy of his own character. In his imagination, he has brought together characters from his past to play out his own sense of martyrdom. These characters also include two writers who represent Kerouac's fear of how he will be remembered. This story is about the man and his inner turmoil.

The Sacred Virgin
by Carol Schaefer
Directed by Paula Berger
Hoping to fulfill a lifelong dream to act on stage, Bridget joins an acting class only to discover the lie she has been living. "If I let myself go and become a character, how will I get back to myself? Who will I get back to?" A letter has just arrived from the son she surrendered for adoption 20 years before, while she was hidden away in shame in a Catholic home for unwed mothers. Her memories threaten her. The shock of reading the letter can return her to herself or destroy her completely. Bridget's tragic dilemma is shared by untold numbers of women today, and mirrors deep feelings of loss we all, men as well as women, share - feelings that reveal our true connection with each other.
