Inside Albert's Head

with Damian Lanahan-Kalish

A surreal series of comic monologues following one man's oddball odyssey with paramedics playing Parcheesi in the back of their speeding ambulance, imposter dentists wrestling at a Sizzler, illegal underwear testers, and the woman he has fallen in love with, who sells shoes out of her house.

Lost & Found

with Ian Riley and Sarah Savage

Rita and Colby meet over a lost article. It's happenstance that challenges something they've worked hard at avoiding: a shared intimacy. Forced to peel away their well worn protective shields. Lost and Found is a play about waht we do to guard against hurt, intimacy and the feelings that come up when we take the risk and open ourselves up to another person.

"I love the surprise that comes hearing a good actor breathe life into the words I've written. That special surprise and the magic where the art forms mash up, creating a new and different form than what I imagined, is what's in it for me - and that's why I write." --David Ackerman
