Sunday, December 14th @6:30pm State Theatre, 719 Congress Ave. The December 14th Salon will feature three short works by members Candyce Rusk, Priscilla Sample, and Teresa Stankiewicz. Lulu's Charms in the Dark by Candyce Rusk is set in Chicago's Riverview Ballroom in the mid 1940's, and focuses on three women whose fortunes lie with dancing the night away in good shoes...hard to come by and harder to keep. In Priscilla Sample's Lascivious, when her husband dies under unusual circumstances, popular cook and author Lynn Matthews is surprised to find herself a suspect in the police investigation. Duty to Warn by Teresa Stankiewicz Loretta is a young mother with bipolar disorder struggling to balance her emotions. Her dysfunctional family dismisses her troubles as she spirals out of control. The police, the hospital and the therapist all make the required calls espousing their "duty to warn" when Loretta threatens to kill her mother and her children. Ride the roller coaster of emotions that Loretta suffers and experience the consequences of our "duty to warn."

The Happy Couple by James Venhaus Sunday, November 16 @6:30 pm The State Theatre, 719 Congress Ave. A young lawyer and his wife return to the house that they rented while he attended law school. A lot has changed in ten years. Squatters now occupy the house and won't let the happy couple leave. By the time the sun comes up, no one's life will be the same.

Moses of the Bulrushes (a divine comedy) by Steve Warren Sunday, September 28th @ 6:30pm The State Theatre, 719 Congress Ave. The orphan Moses, abandoned as a baby in a basket on the river by his mother, possesses divine powers but doesn't know it yet even at age 17, because he has been raised by the stuttering, backwoods, river-washing former preacher Monroe Gifford and his two ugly sons who believe Moses is cursed for being born out of wedlock. Abused by his adopted family, Moses soon escapes with the help of wheelchair-ridden Granny Hannah and sets out on his Path to Glory, but when the ugly boys discover Moses has the deed to Granny's farm that Monroe desires, they pursue Moses with a vengeance.
