A direct sequel, Saving Throw concludes the movement from childhood to young adulthood of the teens from Initiative. How we deal with our losses is perhaps more formative than the losses themselves. As California itself seems to fall apart in the wake of a mundane tragedy, the work of becoming never ceases.

A medical student at Trinity College is approached by a rather famous woman motorcar racer and asked if he might remove her testes. She has read the future doctor’s book, Self: A Study in Ethics and Endocrinology, and finds him to be the most sympathetic man to write on the experiences of people like her who would years later be termed transsexuals. Roberta has come to him because Mayhem Law prohibits the “surgical mutilation of any fit male that would render him unable to serve” in the military, and she cannot find a qualified surgeon willing to take the risk. She has already spent four years as a soldier, five months as a PoW in a Nazi concentration camp. She did her duty as a man, and now wants her liberty to live as a woman. The student, Laurence, agrees to help her. Roberta does not know that Laurence M. Dillon was born female, or that he was the first female to take testosterone to effect a gender transition, or that he was the first transgender man to receive a phalloplasty, or that he has fallen in love with her. Until he tells her.

The Civil War is over, but the scabs it left still itch. A fox stalks the clearing behind the Aubert's home, hunting chickens. A love triangle goes horribly wrong and a family is destroyed. The pieces cannot be put back together. The survivors must build something new. In the absence of family, God, community, morality, on the edge of the woods that ring with the Devil's whistle, two sisters must embrace the power of renouncing everything.

Runtime: 2hrs. One intermission.

Is loneliness something in the blood? Or is it something in the air? In 1906, Emory is preparing himself to take over as lighthouse keeper after his father Lorin retires when the San Francisco earthquake brings his brother Lo back home with nothing but a fiancee and faith that something will turn up. In the present, Emory, the "great great great whatever" of Lorin, tends the lighthouse museum. As the play progresses, tidally shifting back and forth across a century, Emory meets the only person who could inspire him to change his fate.

Runtime: 2hr10. One intermission.
