The Puzzle Platoon takes place in the basement of a house for sale by a woman being forced to move in with her sister due to ill-health. Althea Witlin is a puzzle fanatic and is on a mission to complete a 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle in one night with the help of the potential buyer for the house, his wife, and her sweet and strangely wacky young neighbor. The story is an exploration of friendships, families and the meaning of life.

For those who may wonder about the title, it is a noun, not an adjective. An “incorruptible” refers to a deceased holy person whose body does not decompose. The story is based upon historical events, but the author does take poetic license which produces some serious comedy.
It is about a group of rag-tag monks in a 13th century French monastery. The river flooded again last week, and the economy is terrible. The abbey’s patron saint hasn’t produced a paying pilgrim or a miracle in 13 yrs. They need to lure some tourists to their town! The destitute monks feel their faith slipping away until they cross paths with a cunning one-eyed minstrel who shows them an enterprising way to fill their empty coffers.
Incorruptible addresses the nagging, age-old question “Does the end justify the means?” It serves up ample helpings of corruption, redemption, and faith—all the basics that make up a life in the 13th century and today as well.

Special Thanks to Gary Clark for bringing our set to life by creating the New York City background.
Sylvia is a romantic comedy about a man, a woman and a dog. Sylvia, a street-smart dog, meets Greg in the park. She has no identification except a tag with her name, “Sylvia”. Greg brings her home, surprising and dismaying his wife, Kate. Tensions rise as Greg spends more and more of his time with Sylvia, learning about himself in the process. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy until, after a series of hilarious and touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives.
Guys and Dolls is a many-times Tony-winning musical laced with Damon Runyon characters, beautiful songs and snappy dances. Set in New York City in the ‘40s, it weaves a fable about gamblers, missionaries and chorus girls.
The longest running comedy-thriller on Broadway, Deathtrap is a story where everyone has a hidden motive. Just when you think you have it figured out, the rug flies right out from under you.
