FIVE EX-WIVES IN ICU
Written by Linda Thorsen Bond
Directed by Philip Moreno
Five ex-wives of very different women have come from all around the United States to be at the bedside of Brandon LaPorte in an intensive care unit. They have one thing in common—they married him. All crammed into the little hospital room, they agree, "When a man says you're too good for him, believe him!"
LATE-LIFE SAFARI
Written by Lisa Marciano
Directed by Lynn Robinson
Four siblings are on African safari to “celebrate” their oldest sister’s divorce. All in their 50s & 60’s, they take off on their adventure, left in the middle of a desert in Botswana Africa, in a jeep with no guide, no doors, no windows and a million animals. The chaos breaks out as the siblings argue continuously about how they will survive the situation, who’s in charge and a new admiration for one another.
A HOUSE OF DOLLS
Written by James Hanson
Directed by Leslie Vitanza
A college student, Delila, makes a big mistake by inviting her study partner (who just happens to be a boy) to her house to study together. The ‘Austen girls’(mother, grandmother, and sister) basically made up of women who in their own words “Love men who then break their hearts and leave them!” The fact that she is a physics major baffles them and the fact that she doesn’t want to take over the family hairdressing salon is equally puzzling and seems to be making no effort to catch a man. So when she actually brings one to the house, Heaven help him!
