BLIND TASTING  by Erik Sherman   Vincent Gwin has his hands full when he runs into his old lover, Adina Perito at a “blind” wine tasting event… the double entendres fly as the wine goes down in this delightful duel that elevates snobbery to an art form.

THE SPACE BESIDE ME  by Janet Kenney   Melody’s sister’s rehearsal party is over, and Uncle Bob has second thoughts about escorting the bride down the aisle in Janet Kenney’s heartfelt  examination of loss and the emotional bonds of family. 

CRAB  LEGS  by George Sauer   Poor Tonya Harding!  Even in a seafood restaurant this poor girl can’t buy a break from her intense competition with ice princess Nancy Kerrigan… or can she? 

POSSIBILITIES  by Peter M. Floyd    When Donna goes to a singles bar with her best friend Janie, she never expected to find out that she is the Queen of a Galaxy in another dimension… an out of this world  play that bends the quantum physics of the dating scene. 

A BAR A MAN WALKS INTO  by Robert Boulrice   When God’s own son is the bartender at this establishment, patrons have a tendency to unburden in the strangest ways.  A  darkly humorous look at the magnetic attraction of the local tavern. 

THE WATERING HOLE  by Karla Sorenson   It’s  a tough singles scene when you’re over 40 and the guys look younger and younger.  Judy and Kate tread through the always dangerous waters of the mating game in this humorous look at middle aged anxiety.

MAN WALKS INTO A BAR  by Lonnie Farmer   a man walks into a bar, says to the Bartender “I just killed a guy… double Jack, straight up”. So begins a tale of life and death, served up with a twist.
