Written by Clay McLeod Chapman Performed by Hanna Cheek One actress plays three women drawn together in the grim aftermath of a high school shooting the mother of the shooter, one of the shooter's victims, and the mother of that victim. It is a deep exploration of the lives of three women that, according to SEE Magazinewill leave you wringing your hands in helpless empathy


God Box, Written and Performed by Antonia Lassar, Directed by Nikki DiLoreto: When her daughter dies, Gloria discovers the unthinkable, her daughter wasn’t a practicing Jew! Amid Buddha’s and Bibles, she searches for her daughter’s true faith in order to give her the right funeral. A hilarious and poignant tale of how faith is passed on, and what happens when it isn’t.


Written and Performed by Ron Stroman This was day two- the seventies- according to the colored calendar- where a decade equals a day- a daycade. The Sikofitall Gudtyme Tour introduces you to the colored calendar as it trips your way down memory lane to show that your good ol’ days ain’t everyone good ol’days- that when it comes to perspectives- every one carries one- a purse- Ron knows purses.
