Man With WingsIn 1971, a small-town sheriff bears witness to a tragic and inexplicable event. Forty years later, a free-lance writer and investigator of unexplained phenomena arrives at the sheriff’s run-down apartment, desperate to learn the truth behind the so-called “Thunderbird Incident.” But the answer the sheriff offers may not be what the writer hoped for; the truth may be worse by far.

Ant FarmAnt Farm is a darkly comic play about a handful of small town survivors of a mysterious cataclysm who are holed up in a bomb shelter under a gun store.
