Description:Chateau Rene:Johnnie Vaugh, (60s,) an aging mobster, rages at his own deterioration, in a shell of an apartment at the Chateau Rene -- a crumbling relic that used to be "the finest address in town." Accompanied only by his trusted bodyguard, Phil, (60s,) Johnnie takes a sad, funny and touching look back at the flickering memories from their past. Two great roles for mature actors.A Chance Meeting:A man and a woman in a lounge glance, nod and speak in this bewitchingly comic piece. They have nothing in common but are attracted to each other. When another man enters and calls the first by a different name, he explains that the woman is really his wife and the pretense is merely to add spice to their marriage. The fur flies when the woman makes a pitch for the second man.For Anne:This play evokes genuine sentiment. An elderly couple is cleaning out the attic before moving out of the house they have lived in for decades. They discover things that neither wanted the other to know: before marrying her, he intercepted a letter of rejection from a poetry editor and substituted a letter of praise. He had the poem privately printed and inserted into a book. We are astonished to learn that she knew all along.The Pledge:Once upon a time two girls took a pledge "to remain true to each other in friendship as long as we both shall live." But time passes and people change. Stacy joins a faster crowd, a raucous group wholly unappealing to reclusive Beth, who feels betrayed, abandoned and poised for tragedy. This heart wrenching event examines teen suicide and, without moralizing, demonstrates that none are immune to tragic guilt.The Adventures of Captain Neato-Man:In this wacky, super duper farce, an innocent nerd answers an employment ad and winds up in the clutches of a combination Batman Superman in need of a sidekick. His mother, who might be King Kong, is fun for the cast and audience. The avenging son rights all wrongs in the city and has a direct line to the police chief, who has never called. There is lots of razzmatazz, ding dong lights and machinery to convince the nerd that he has the makings of a hero.The Heartbreak Tour:Real and make believe stories ingeniously commingle as a troupe of actors visit schools to perform a play about Stephen Foster before assemblies of rowdy brats. Their lives-- loves they have left behind and dreams of the stars the hope to be-- get mixed up with their disastrous straw hat and cane impersonations of Stephen Foster.Does This Woman have a Name?Mel and Sarah have a lucrative enterprise. Mel writes and Sarah performs sexually explicit phone fantasies. Mel hopes her serious fiction will eventually sell. In the meantime, this pays the bills much to the consternation of her boyfriend. Mel's scripts become more and more literary, but Sarah's callers are not interested in metaphors. This amusing satire, a favorite with festival judges, does contain some strong language.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
