MANY WORLDS in New York City, produced by Working Man's Clothes Productions February 1-25, 2007, at the Red Room, 85 E. 4th Street.

Axel and Maggie have been having an affair for so long it seems like a marriage, and all the motel rooms are beginning to look alike. Today, however, Maggie has to decide whether to tell Axel that she has terminal cancer, as Axel, in his usual self-obsessed way, tries to explain the "Many Worlds" theory of quantum physics, and from time to time several possible "other worlds" open up, some involving Maggie's husband, Skip, and we see that life has more possibilities than we imagined, even as we are reminded that every life, finally, has only one ending. 2m, 1f. 2 hrs. Single set.

TURTLE ISLAND BLUES at Grand Valley State University Theatre, Allendale, MI, November 16-25, 2007.

Turtle Island Blues sails through 500 years of American (Turtle Island) history and features Sitting Bull, who travels through space and time, Columbus, Isabella (who, disguised as a cabin boy, accompanies Columbus to the new world), the trial and incarceration of Leonard Peltier, Pocahontas, Thomas Jefferson writing the Declaration of Independence (with the help of Sally Hemings, his African-American mistress), the Trail of Tears, the discovery of the North Pole, the Battle of the Little Big Horn, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, Wounded Knee, the murder of Sitting Bull, and other events, both in the ordinary world and in the spirit world. Sometimes humorous, at other times tragic, poignant, magical, thought-provoking, and controversial, Turtle Island Blues confronts our past with honesty, celebrates our common humanity, and envisions a future of hope, understanding, and cooperation.
