This solo show turned two-act four-hander is modeled on the style of Caryl Churchill.

In a last ditch effort to repair a broken family bond and change life patterns that have been long nurtured, Damonica, a thirty-something waitress and stand-up comic implores her lost-soul father to contact his dying mother. Hilarity ensues! Realities converge and two seemingly divergent worlds collide as the audience is ricocheted from the father's alcohol-strewn living room to the waitress's moonlighting stand-up routines. Can the waitress heal old wounds? Not before picking at the scabs. That's act one.

15 years later Louise, Patrick and Taylor are here to support Damonica as she lays her past to rest. Is she ready? Are they? Secrets are revealed. truths uncovered, and mistakes...big mistakes...are tended to. Or not. Let's just say it gets real messy in the end.

The truth shall set you free, except when it doesn't. Curtis's truth has kept him behind bars for over two decades. Those he left on the outside are unwittingly entrenched in lies. A mother hides her true identity from her son, the son hides his truth from himself and all who love him. A “by any means necessary” private investigator, a do-gooder novelist, and Curtis's steadfast father all paint a less than honest narrative and are confined by its chains.

When our lives are defined by systems--family, church, community, penal--and our systems fail us, we all do time. Who gets exonerated? Whose appeal is heard? And who chooses solitary confinement? Inspired by a true story, Retreat examines the lies we tell ourselves and each other in order to survive under the systems we collectively create. And until Curtis is free, no one will be. #thewholetruthandnothingbutthetruthsohelpme #freedomandjusticeforall

It's 1981. A Black theatre artist is tired of only being considered for "A Raisin In the Sun" and must find a way to fulfill his artistic destiny despite his pregnant wife's insistence he finally get a "real" job.

Enter two career criminals--a white dude and his Black ex-lover--with a life story so fantastical the artist can't help but take notice. The unlikely trio lie, cheat and steal their way into a contract for a workshop production of "Love Thief", the musical within this musical. The challenges of creating a new musical for the stage are compounded by the different agendas of the cast, the production team and even the artist himself as he longs for his family's support. Can the artist change the landscape of the American Theatre, with the help of two ne'er do wells, by challenging the status quo of whose stories deserve to be told and how, and keep his family intact as he does? Probably not. But he's gonna die trying.

By exploring the cultural and social maladies of 1981, Triple Threats interrogates the strives we've made, and those we clearly haven't, in this industry and in the world.
