Man-made
By Susan Mosakowski
Man-made is an exploration of human evolution channeled through the discoveries of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, the Creature in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and current experiments in biotechnology, culminating in Eugenie Doe, the first genetically engineered female. Survival is pitched against the rigid morality of the nineteenth century, and later in the twenty-first century when the tyranny of organized religion and corporate America threaten to halt science.
Opening February 28, 2008 at The Ohio Theatre.
Baloney Heaven
By Susan Mosakowski
On a typical day in the neighborhood, Lily plans her escape from her husband Gus, an unemployed elevator repairman. Holed up in the apartment with a shotgun, Gus keeps his neighbors in the crosshairs. Next door lives an actress – a Marilyn Monroe look-alike – held captive by Daddy, a universal terrorist on the run. And in the next apartment, the grandson of Harry Houdini struggles to release himself from his own chains, while his wife Bess plots her escape from him. Release is on everyone's mind, but can anyone ever escape?
Opening September 2008 at La Mama E.T.C.
