 Impressionism
Michael Jacobs
Katherine Keenan runs a small art gallery with her assistant, Thomas Buckle; each is hiding from a world that shattered them. Thomas has been hurt by what he's seen behind his camera as a world-traveling photojournalist, and Katherine has been disappointed by incredibly failed relationships. Through gradually opening up to each other, they find that love is not always painted in the style of Realism, and they discover the art of repairing broken lives. 4m, 4f. Softcover, 55 pp. $11.99.
 The Exonerated
Jessica Blank & Erik Jensen
What does it truly mean to be exonerated? The dictionary says
it is to be proclaimed innocent after having been convicted of a
crime. But what effect does it have on a person to have one's freedom
and self-respect stripped away and then returned years later, after
decades of incarceration? Through the words of six innocent men and
women who emerged from years on death row, compiled and edited by
Blank and Jensen, The Exonerated attempts to answer this question.
This is both a riviting work of theatre and an exploration of one
dark aspect of the American criminal justice system. Male: 7 Female:
3. Softcover, 76 pp. $19.50.
 Baptized to the Bone
Dave Johnson
Ottis, a stapping young man in a small Southern town, is creating a "Gospel
Poetry Opera." He is dying to go away and produce the work in New York
but has no money and few prospects -- until he decides to hustle Gladys. What
Gladys doesn't know, however, is that Ottis is also hustling her husband, Henry,
a preacher. Inevitably complications ensue and events take a completely unexpected
turn, forcing Ottis, Gladys, and Henry to learn the hard way that sometimes
deception gets you exactly what you want. M-2, F-1. Softcover, 55 pp. $9.99.
 The Jammer
Rolin Jones
The Jammer resurrects that greatest of American entertainments, the Roller Derby: half sport, half show, all action. In just over an hour, The Jammer packs multiple roller-derby sequences, a riot, a roller-coaster ride, vomit, spit, blood, sex and love. In short, The Jammer is the King Lear of roller-derby plays. Softcover, 64 pp. $10.99.
