alice...Alice...ALICE! - This version addresses themes of growing up in an age where there are no "real" children, an age where gated communities, protective parents and fear of the unknown have created deep fears of "safe" settings.

Colin Quinn: Long Story Short - In this one-man send-up directed by Jerry Seinfeld, Colin Quinn channels comedic personalities of nations past, offering satirical takes on the attitudes, appetites and habits that toppled powerful empires.
