CABFARE FOR THE COMMON MAN is a journey through eight short stories of extraordinary things happening to ordinary people. A couple who wake up to find the script of the play that they are in, a psychic can only see two minutes into the future, a woman receives a rented boyfriend, a man finds a cabdriver perched on his bed -- and more.

Specially edited for High School Students to perform.

DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING is eight short stories featuring ordinary people in not-so-ordinary situations. There's death and kissing, superheroes and Chinese food, and a lot of surprises.

"remarkable for the diversity and originality of its subject matter, notable for its sense of humor and laudable for its generally humanist stance. The pieces are as consistently dissimilar as they are consistently entertaining, which makes the evening that much more of a wonder, incorporating everything from straight-on madcap to aw-shucks sweetness... I'm betting you'll take at least a little something — on top of the laughter — from all of them. It's a tremendous evening of little theater."
Michael C. Moore, Kitsap Sun (Washington State)

An evening of eight funny horror plays:
The Interview: These days you have to fight to get a job.
A Fit Of Pique: Some women must suffer for their beauty.
A Case Of Anxiety: It’s dangerous to worry all the time.
The Folks: The things your parents tell you stick with you for a lifetime.
Plato’s Cave - Have you ever wondered if there’s more to life? Don’t.
Holly And Herbie And Walter And Waffles: Morality is difficult when you’re in a cage.
Salt In The Wound: Superstition is there for a reason.
Misfortune: Barry gets some disturbing news with his Kung Pao Chicken.

In this version of Hamlet, a lot of the characters turn out to be women in disguise. They realize if they don't step in, the whole thing is going to end in tragedy. With women now in charge, it's Shakespeare's famous play, but funnier and less murder-y.

An evening of short works that can all be performed in a Park.

A man has the unique ability to pick up coins in a fountain and tell peoples wishes. A new father is taking his baby to the park for a little fresh air and a little panic. A young lady would like you to know she’s not homeless -- she’s a birthday party. A man is preaching to a crowd, but his girlfriend has a message of her own. And more!

A collection of eight plays and one monologue for all women casts. Characters feature women receiving dire predictions, insects trapped in a jar, college roommates with different outlooks, sisters facing death, diners facing murder, as well as crazed stalkers, crayons and cows. A fun evening perfect for an all-girls school.

A desk in kindergarten can be a battlefield when the crayons come to life.

"...the stronger one being The Big Picture, where each crayon in the box worries about being used up by their artist. It drives home the sentiment that your life as an individual is important, but what you leave behind among all of the lives you touch will shine on long after you are gone."
-- Anne Evans, Columbus Underground (Columbus, OH)

A perfectly ordinary man goes on the cab ride of his life. How will he know when he's arrived?

-- Hedley Brown, (Gi60 actor, playwright, assistant director), quoted in "One Minute Plays, A Practical Guide to Tiny Theatre"; Steve Ansell and Rose Burnett Bonczek; Routledge Press
