Sex On Sunday
by Chisa Hutchinson

Everyone wants to know Laila Meeks' secret of success. After moving into a lavish home in an affluent neighborhood, Laila finds herself being questioned about what she does and how she makes such an incredible living doing it. Chisa Hutchinson weaves a hysterical and poignant play about a dominatrix who must hide her profession from her conservative, judgmental, and delightfully bitchy new neighbors. Sex On Sunday masterfully challenges taboos on sex, race, relationships, and gender bias leaving everyone involved begging for more.

And Then We Were This
by Nicholas J. Peterka

After nearly a decade of romance and two years of marriage, Dylan and Nicole have started to notice a growing divide seeping into their relationship. And Then We Were This challenges what it takes to save a relationship and even more--a friendship. Friends and lovers come together in the face of separation, questioning the old notion that loving someone best may mean letting go. Nicholas James Peterka's latest play raises pressing questions about evolving love, young marriage and aching friendship.
