Wednesday's Child is a fast-paced thriller, murder
mystery, and more. Susan and Martin Merrit are unable to have
a child on their own, so they hire Becca Connor to serve as
a surrogate. When Becca is found dead, a police investigation
explodes the lives of everyone who knew her. As Detectives
Valez and Dixon begin to put the pieces together, secrets
surface, alibis weaken, and lies are uncovered. This dramatic
play explores motherhood, passion, and that thin line between
right and wrong.

And following Wednesday's Child at the Guild
Directed by Doug Lloyd
Produced by K.L.Storer
This Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony-nominated play examines
the relationship between two estranged brothers. It is set
in the kitchen of their mother's home in the desert, 40 miles
east of Los Angeles. Austin, a screenwriter and achiever,
is working on a script he has sold to producer Saul Kimmer.
Lee is a demented petty thief who drops in and pitches his
own idea for a movie to the producer. Sal then wants Austin
to junk his bleak, modern love story and write Lee's trashy
Western tale.

FLIGHT OF THE LAWNCHAIR MAN
Book by Peter Ullian
Music & Lyrics by Robert Lindsey-Nassif
*(Based on a concept by Robert Lindsey-Nassif)

Jerry Gorman is a regular guy from Passaic, New Jersey, who just got
promoted to Snack Bar Manager at Wal-Mart. But what he really wants
to do is fly. While the neighbors think he's nuts, and his mother
disapproves, his girlfriend Gracie believes in him and encourages
him to follow his dream. Jerry soars to 16,000 feet with nothing but
a lawnchair and 400 helium balloons. Loosely based on a true story,
Flight of the Lawnchair Man is a musical that inspires hope,
and reminds us that dreams can come true if you believe in yourself.
SUPERIOR DONUTS

Directed by Jared Mola

Arthur Przybyszewski, a former 1960's radical, owns a rundown donut
shop in Chicago's Uptown. His only employee, an energetic but troubled
young African American assistant, Franco, wants to update the
establishment with lively music and healthy menu options. The writing
is on the wall that things are going to change -- maybe even for
the better. Superior Donuts explores the challenges of embracing
the past, and the redemptive power of friendship.
