Includes 2 Heideman Award Finalists!

In these seven short plays, the standard suburban universe is turned topsy-turvy.  As interconnected characters go about their daily lives – tucking in their kids at bedtime, dealing with infidelity, making time for the gym – the unexpected is always just around the corner.  Sometimes it’s the boogeyman, or an alien invasion, or just the surprise of a true human connection.  Includes: The Collectors, Beddy-Bye, Indian Guys, Health & Fitness, Honey, The Well of Souls and The Unknown.
