    The hookup begins with an comedic whimper of awkwardness, Dave, a young man, meets with George, a married, older man who has never had a tryst. Things seem to be going well despite Dave continually disassociating out of the action during sex and soliloquizing his past trauma to the audience, but this is nothing new to him.

    The hookup begins with an comedic whimper of awkwardness, Dave, a young man, meets with George, a married, older man who has never had a tryst. Things seem to be going well despite Dave continually disassociating out of the action during sex and soliloquizing his past trauma to the audience, but this is nothing new to him. Being forcibly pulled out from this space for the first time by George, his eager but inexperienced new lover, is quite the surprise. Disturbed yet intrigued, George desperately tries to unravel the mystery of his new partner, at the cost of losing himself. 'hookup' is a tragic, absurdist dream play about the stranger within all of us.

    Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos are reunited at a small, dank soundstage in Los Angeles to record a YouTube interview for an unspecified Condé Nast magazine. Much to the chagrin of Daria, the director, Sunny, the DP, and Lucky, the 1st AD, The rest of the criminally underpaid crew has walked out, seemingly in protest of 'recent actions' made by some in the trio. The interview begins as planned, but the balance of power between the CEOs and the underpaid crew twists when the CEOs realize that they all are mysteriously unable to leave the sound stage. Here is a farce of little consequence. A take on the new genre of "eat the rich" style commentaries, but with just a little bit more praxis. These characters are at their best with a disgusting veneer of true humanity within the clowning. The facade is crumbling, and there is blood hidden behind that wall.

    In the year 2150, the island of Puerto Rico, what once was the oldest Colony on Earth is nothing more but a mound of sand. Coffins, which occasionally float to the surface from their watery grave, litter the ocean beside half sunk sky scrapers that peak out from the water and pierce against the sunset behind them. No one had lived on the island for decades, but when a group of interested parties charts a boat...
    In the year 2150, the island of Puerto Rico, what once was the oldest Colony on Earth is nothing more but a mound of sand. Coffins, which occasionally float to the surface from their watery grave, litter the ocean beside half sunk sky scrapers that peak out from the water and pierce against the sunset behind them. No one had lived on the island for decades, but when a group of interested parties charts a boat to the island, they soon find that there is in fact one last Puerto Rican, hosting an illegal radio show right there on the last square foot of Island. Wepa!
