Messages to You
A lonely young woman tries to communicate with her love through the

Man with Wings
In
1971, a small-town sheriff bears witness to a tragic and inexplicable
event. Forty years later, a free-lance writer and investigator of
unexplained phenomena arrives at the sheriff’s run-down apartment,
desperate to learn the truth behind the so-called “Thunderbird
Incident.” But the answer the sheriff offers may not be what the writer
hoped for; the truth may be worse by far.

Zombie Boyfriend!
After
a tragic accident, a naive college girl makes a deal with the devil to
bring her boyfriend back from the dead. She gets more than she bargained
for, however, when he comes back as a zombie. As the zombie infection
spreads, she and her friends must battle the forces of darkness to save
themselves...and the world. Rock on!

Other Animals: dark funny
disturbing monologs and stupid tasteless videos
Writer-performer-media-artist-former-goaltender Deke Weaver’s solo
performance tastes a little bit like Monty Python, a little like
Spalding Gray with a hint of Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. The evening
bubbles with the gothic (a heartbreaking love triangle: a fuzzy kitty, a
fuzzy puppy and an evil vampire pig), the tragic (a tale of disaster: a
park ranger presents an aviary of hawks and eagles to an elementary
school assembly), and the mythic (a lean haunting parable of a
bottomless appetite and the beast within). Weaver has presented
versions of
Other Animals
in Cardiff, Wales; New York; San Francisco, the Midwest and New England.

The Crimes & Confessions
of Kip Knutzen: A Hockey Way
of
Knowledge
It’s 1978. The Demon’s high school hockey coach is Kip Knutzen. He
lives in Devil Lakes, Minnesota, with his wife Katie and their twin teen
daughters Heidi and Helga. The Demon’s captain is Tool Halvorson. The
Twins read minds. Pheasants talk to Kip. And Tool can seduce anything
on the planet – dead or alive. But it’s no big deal. This is
Minnesota. It’s normal. It’s probably as normal as can be.
The Crimes & Confessions of Kip Knutzen
is a hilarious, dark quest for soul, truth and love in the fish-huts,
church youth-groups, rabid hockey arenas and frozen prairies of a small
northern Minnesota town. It’s equal parts John Irving, Fargo, Carlos
Castaneda, Slap Shot, Kevin Kling and early Garrison Keillor.

The Emancipation of Alabaster McGill
The city's most eligible sea captain, the deacon of the local church
brothel and your friendly neighborhood Klansman band together to save
the town of Mud Hill from becoming just another Slippery Slope. Ripped
from the headlines (of 1863)!

Nobody Gets Paid
Take a glimpse backstage, where musicians sing their songs in prose,
using humor, candor and a fair amount of foul language. Whether the
trial is quitting cigarettes, surviving a cruise ship gig or dealing
with the day job, the characters tell us what makes the jazz life worth
the struggle.

Monkey Wrench
"This is your chance to learn heartwarmin’ life lessons from a
down-on-his-luck curmudgeon," the title character tells a jaded
real-estate developer. Is it a Hallmark moment, or one man’s surreal
nightmare? Good times!

57 Hours in the House of Culture
In October 2002, Chechen terrorists seized a theatre in Moscow

relive the terrifying experience of being held hostage.
