Closet Space

Cast: 4 female

Semi-closeted Margaret’s homophobic mother just died. Now she’s determined to change the trajectory of her failed romantic life. Enter new love interest Shelly, a professional organizer who can’t organize her own life, and old flame Kendra, who just might be the one who got away. As Shelly helps Margaret unearth both the contents of her (literal) closets and the roots of her (metaphorical) baggage, Margaret must confront a lifetime of fears to discover what she really wants and what’s holding her back.

Good Neighbors

Cast: 4 female, 4 male

Depressed housewife Rosie gets out of bed only to cook dinner for her husband Doug, a hapless insurance salesman who’s frustrated in his marriage and career. He’s the perfect pawn for ambitious neighbor Marilyn, who’s ruthlessly promoting her campaign for community board president. Running against her is incumbent Bart, a dyed-in-the-wool board lifer whose weekly meetings with fellow board member Shirley are the highlight of his existence. Into this quirky tinderbox of a community comes new arrival Mimi, a free spirit who moves into the neighborhood and unwittingly ignites a firestorm. Everyone in this neighborhood is struggling to get what they want – but they may only end up getting what they deserve.
