Is it the physical act? Is it an emotional affair? Is it cheating if you're looking at porn with your spouse in the next room? If you're with your spouse and thinking of someone else are you cheating? Steve and Linda Daniels grapple with this question and whether or not their marriage can be saved. AS THE TABLES TURN ****************************** Couples: Jack and Jill, George and Martha, Lois and Clark, Cleo and Marc, Wilma and Fred, Lucy and Ricky, Carol and Mike AS THE TABLES TURN is made up of short vignettes which spoof famous characters from fairy tales, history and television. The waiter plays an important part as he picks up on each conversation, adds a twist and brings it to a new level. Each scenario brings forth one aspect of each couples relationship that is highlighted and written with humor. THE ELEVATOR ****************************** We are introduced to Stanley and Alice Whitman. They go to th doctor's office only to get stuck in the elevator with a pregnant woman. With the expecting mother about to burst and Stanley, being the hypercondriac that he is, about to go absolutely crazy without his meds, how will they ever survive their time in The Elevator! *********************************************************** ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT Since 2001, Cindy has made her dream a reality.

Playwright Series Program is to provide a unique and professional theatrical platform for local & non-local playwrights who are seeking exposure for their original literary works. MISSION: Our mission is to introduce and connect the playwright(s) and his/her/their literary works to the community by way of producing live productions of their work in a professional theatre setting. IN A NUT SHELL: We will take the time to notice "you". If you have a script that no one will read, let alone produce, give us a try. We will read it, make necessary changes, and then (if chosen) produce it for you in the form of a full scale production. Let us be your breakthrough...your voice. Let us help you start or advance your career in the Arts!
