In 1969, thirteen-year-old Alex is about to make her Confirmation, but after rumors spread that she gave the monsignor a heart attack during her confession, she begins to bleed. She believes the bleeding can only be one thing, a sign that she's possessed. A possession she believes she brought onto herself because she can't stop masturbating to the idea of girls in her class telling her what to do and Dick Van Dyke in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It starts to spread to the other girls in the grade and threatens to take over the school, the country, and their bodies.

Four women meet on the first Monday of each month in the same diner, at the same time (when they’re on time) where they complain about the slow service, their dietary restrictions, the latest Real Housewives episodes, bad-smelling tuna fish sandwiches, and their college sons’ sexual assault allegations.

An adaptation of Georg Buchner's Woyzeck set in a knock off Red Lobster where Marie, that Marie who ends up being killed by her boyfriend in the original, works as a server to support her baby. Waymon, her boyfriend, just recently got out of prison and works in the kitchen. He's always hungry since he's on a special diet for a new experimental drug. Oh and there's a giant talking lobster that comes out at night.

Tanya reports the candy store owner for "being a creep." The store is infested with cockroaches and the manager is freaking out that they'll fail the health inspection. And Kate and Justine just want to "help" Tanya in whatever their definition of helping means, whether she likes it or not. Run time- 30 minutes.

The immortal jellyfish is a creature that can cycle back to infancy on the brink of death. Nineteen year old Celeste meets up with Meredith, a woman she met on a Craigslist ad, to finally road trip down to Florida to catch the jellyfish in time for their migration. Celeste has a jellyfish that once belonged to her mother (a bad gift from her father) that she wants to return to sea and Meredith may want to possibly become one. A play that dissects bodies, age, frogs, and Disney.
