Now This
By Scott Kaiser
Welcome to the town of Purple Mountain, where teenager Joey Adderall is at the end of his tether. His girlfriend, Amy Clearblue, is pregnant; his father, Mort Soloflex, hasn’t spoken to him in years; his mother, Purelle Swiffer, is a clean freak; his former teacher, Activia Green, is a raging liberal; his boss, Shad Rogaine, has anger management issues; his roommate’s pit bull, Oswald, is a terror. He’s broke, alone, and without hope. What’s a young man to do?
Joey heads to the Clear Cut Mall with a loaded pistol, and shoots his way out of his disposable life, taking with him several fellow consumers. It’s all captured on CCTV by security specialist Randy Lenscrafter, and uploaded to the internet for everyone to see. Can the people of Purple Mountain ever hope to understand—and learn from—Joey’s rampage at the mall?

Splittin’
the Raft
By Scott Kaiser
Splittin’ the Raft is a highly stylized theatrical retelling of the Huck Finn Story. This rendition of Mark Twain’s classic is interpreted by social reformer, orator, writer and statesman Frederick Douglass, one of America’s greatest voices for freedom, in hopes of setting the record straight.
Four actors play multiple roles, as Mark Twain’s humor, Frederick Douglass’ brilliant language, African-American spirituals, and challenging ideas about race relations in America are highlighted.
