Five high school cheerleaders attempt to navigate purity and hyper-sexualization as Adam and Eve revisit the Origin Story and Joan of Arc battles not only the English, but the high school principal, gender roles, and rape culture as well. At the intersect of these stories is Bubbe, an intergalactic prophet and Jewish grandmother, traversing time and space to weave the narrative spirals together, revealing the connections–the infinite happenings–among generations and generations of women, including the women in her own family who left Odessa to come to America in hopes of finding Paradise.

One-act (from scenes from "American Dream"). A mother and daughter have "the talk;" an assimilated American Jew recalls the event that started her family's generational trauma; and Adam and Eve go on a first date. Somehow, they are all connected.

On a March morning, while haunted by their own catastrophic nest failure, Kari and Mark wait for the migratory return of the osprey to Horseshoe Bend on the St. Mary's River for the nesting season.

A bed on casters allows for stage migration to mirror tonal chapters and field guide chapters, informed by the environmental crisis in the 1960s when the North American osprey nearly went extinct.

A lesbian fugitive spends her final ten minutes on Earth waiting in shackles to board the last penal transport to Mars.
