Middle-aged Jane desperately searches for a word while she looks back on her childhood. Through a word game, young Jane -- always the good girl -- and her best friend Max -- the tomboy troublemaker -- challenge each other to grow and expose their greatest struggles, from absent and drunk parents, teen sex, to accidentally poisoning the neighbor girl. Fearing that her mom will send her to her strict grandmother, Jane runs away. Jane's drunken mom and Max build a bond as they search for Jane and try to get their lives together.

Mish, a cable dispatcher, is in love with her older married boss, Nelson. When Mish's brother, H, gets kicked out of their parents' home, he comes to live with Mish and her pothead roommate, Luce. Mish & Nelson get away to Big Sur in an attempt to reignite their tense relationship. The attempt fails, they break up, and Mish ends up pregnant (of course.)

This story of the intersecting lives of twenty-somethings enduring their relationships through a drug induced haze is interrupted with riffs on the drugs of choice, from the chemical and physiological to the psychological effects of the drug.

Cly is less than thrilled about Aggie's imminent arrival. Jonathan, the butler, and Bertha, his wife, prepare for his homecoming. Cly takes another man, Edge, to her bed and plots her own revenge. Unfortunately, the revenge backfires. If only they'd had the foresight to listen to Cass's seemingly senseless ramblings, some of the bloodshed might have been sidestepped. As the tale spirals to its inevitable mythical finish, each woman struggles with her own demons.

In this askance glance off The Oresteia, the story bounces between Earth and the Underworld, past and present, prose and poetry. Cly must explain her world. Iphy, her sacrificed daughter, plots her revenge with Revenge. And Cass comes to terms with being disbelieved.

Livia, a sex-positive 20-something, dedicates her life to writing and the communist movement. She wishes her brother Bertie would do the same, but in 1930 Milwaukee, men and the police can wreak havoc on a woman's life.

Gem’s search for her father leads her to an amusement park somewhere in the middle of America. When the Knott’s family vacation lands them at the same park, their worlds collide. The Knott twins are having a birthday. Because their birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year, they get to choose their gift and choose a weekend at an amusement park. Although the park is closed, the family stays to celebrate the holiday in the hotel room. This skewering of American family values and entertainment takes the twists and turns of the rides at the part. But that’s okay because each of the nine scenes in this twisted quest is interrupted by Gem, our narrator, as she explains the physics of roller coasters in malapropisms.

When Aunt Flo died, havoc was wreaked, and Lennox screaked. No one warned them. Now they're on a mission to warn you. In this solo performance, Soderberg wants you to laugh until you’re appalled at the information available about menopause. "Not a period piece."
