THE SAND GAME

Sometimes you have to break the rules to find love.
Ever since they were kids, super-achieving siblings Laine and Michael Gerson have been jubilant competitors and intellectual soulmates.
So why is it that Laine would love to end up with a nice Jewish guy like her brother, while the last thing Michael wants romantically is someone like his sister?
Guided by her grit and wit, not to mention astrophysics and salsa music, Laine relentlessly pursues the answer. When love finally comes knocking, she faces a gut-wrenching decision. Should she cast aside tradition and open the door for a man outside her prescribed world? Or should she continue to play by the rules?
Wicked smart and very funny, “The Sand Game” takes a fresh look at how one sassy New Yorker tries to dig herself out of a romantic rut and put a lifelong sibling rivalry to rest.

THE FIRST SUPPER

Take a family feud, add a heap of hot-button issues, throw in a healthy dose of farce, and what do you get?
A hilarious new spin on the classic film, "Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner", reimagined to reflect some of the absurdities of today’s political times.
One fine day, Amanda Worthington, daughter of wealth and privilege, returns home from college with shocking news. At her side is boyfriend Brian Grace, the son of strict social conservatives who, by the way, will be arriving any minute now.
The Graces’ unexpected visit—and the surprising reason for it—spell double trouble for Amanda’s parents. As moderate Republicans, Chuck and Libby Worthington are keen on tax cuts, but not so keen on their more conservative GOP brethren.
Tempers and temptations flare when the Graces arrive, as all four parents duke it out for the hearts, minds, and pocketbooks of the young couple. Smart and sassy, "The First Supper" serves up a funny soup of stock characters whose clashing beliefs result in a family get-together gone terribly awry.
