Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them
A precocious young girl, her 16-year-old brother and his classmate lover create their own family, no thanks to the adults in their lives.
Give It Up
Yolanda and Adanma are young female resistance fighters who find themselves sharing the same jail cell in the final years of Angola's civil war. During that decades-long conflict, underage girls often would be forcibly kidnapped and married to UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola) militants. Rather than submit to that fate, Yolanda & Adanma have become "Sarahs", members of an all-female rebel movement led by a charismatic leader with whom both Yolanda & Adanma are in love and whom they are now in danger of betraying as a result of their imprisonment and torture.

Realistic
after all the terrible things I do
Returning to his Midwestern hometown after college, Daniel, a young, gay writer, takes a job at the local bookstore he knew as a child. After he and Linda, the Filipina bookstore owner, begin working together, they discover they share a dark connection that goes much deeper than a love of literature. A gripping and intimate new play explores the dark side of ordinary people, second chances, and the price of forgiveness.
