  1. PLAYS Around the Globe by Henrik Eger

  2. The Astrologer Martin Elberfeld visits his sister with heirlooms that he had inherited as gifts for her to make up for a strained relationship, determined only to listen to her and not challenge or contradict her religious belief in astrology and homeopathy. Elke predicts his future.The night before her funeral, her life mate reveals secrets about her life. Right after the funeral at the dinner with countless astrologers, homeopathic practitioners, and Elke’s many clients and friends, all dressed in black, Elke's brother reveals secrets of his family's life. 

  3. The Funeral: A comedy Family and friends gather outside a suburban Catholic church, grieving the death of Maria Esposito, one of the most beloved people for miles. Her eldest son, Joe Esposito, invites everyone to a luncheon at a famous banquet hall nearby. Dr. Hudson, deeply moved, asks Joe whether he would like him to give a speech in honor of his mother at the luncheon. Joe, equally moved, agrees. 

  4. The Girl on the Other Side of the Fence • The Girl on the Other Side of the Fence is based on three real people: Anne Frank, shortly after her arrival in Bergen-Belsen from Auschwitz in 1945; Karl Koehler, a shy and deeply religious German farmhand who was drafted during WWII to deliver packages in the area around the Bergen-Belsen camp; and his wife Erna, a beautiful, albeit tough young woman in WWII survival mode. Karl, aware of the suffering of the people in the camp, starts by throwing some food over the fence. Once he realizes that they have little to wear, he throws clothing and then bed sheets, too--very much against the will of his wife, who, like most people in war-ravaged Europe, is in physical and emotional survival mode.

  5. The Rehearsal Set in our own time, three American actors discuss how best to present Mah Own Constitution to HS and college students studying US History, especially the writing of the United States Bill of Rights by James Madison, Jr. (1751–1836), hailed as the "Father of the Constitution." To show the oppression, both then and now, the actors communicate on three different linguistic levels: (1) Regular modern American English. (2) Racist, stereotypical ways in which white actors presented people of color during the popular “minstrel shows” in make-up or blackface, lampooning black people as dim-witted. (3) Antebellum English that shows slaves as fellow human beings who, although oppressed badly, speak up and even develop their own Constitution.
