ONCE UPON A TIME: A PLAY WITH MUSIC
by Anne Marie Mortensen
presented by Bottle Tree Productions
What time is it, when it's Once Upon a Time?
Is it morning, noon, or midnight--
Are there beanstalks left to climb?
Do the sorcerers and fairies work for evil, or for good?
Does the tower have a door, and is it made of wood?
Does the Prince rescue the Princess, or the other way around?
When someone drops their slipper, is it lost or is it found?
Do you wonder, in your head, as you lay awake in bed:
"Is it morning, noon, or midnight, in Once Upon a Time?"

R.E.D.
By Tyler Mathews
presented by Studio 013
Astronaut Michél Barnham wakes to the screeching of alarms. The corpses of her crew lie rotting around the hull of her shattered ship. She is drifting aimlessly into deep space. Her only sliver of hope lies in a box-sized maintenance robot named R.E.D. The bond Michél forms with R.E.D. will either prove her undoing...Or allow her to accept a terrible fate.
R.E.D. is a one-woman existential play about confronting one's own mortality.

THE DUCK VARIATIONS
by David Mamet
presented by bEST Theatre Co.
The Duck Variations presents two old friends, Emil and George, in 14 variations, talking about ducks - at least, ducks as they relate to our passages through life. As the two sit on a park bench watching ducks in the lake, they discuss leadership roles, conflict among different groups, sex, friendship and love, and, finally, death. The audience senses that Emil and George are not able to discuss these things openly, so they use the metaphor of the ducks to express their fears about aging and death.
