Meteoric
ONE-ACT - Backstage at the Chuckle Hut, rising comedian Ankor Popov quarrels with Will Fallow, his under-appreciated opening act. Then come reports of an incoming disaster that might be described as a cosmic joke. It's not funny... Then again, maybe a punchline is the best way to close out the act.

The Nonsense Club
ONE-ACT - In a suburb in the 1980s, a group of students of various ages are recruited by a scheming boy named Niles to get revenge on the despicable school bully, Gus. Each of the five teens are missing one of the five senses -- sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. The play, which begins and ends in an isolated treehouse, consists of a series of vignettes as each character's story is illuminated. What eventually becomes clear is that Niles's plan does not involve a simple prank... He needs each of his companions in order to recreate an Ancient Egyptian ritual to steal each of the bully's five senses.
