Juliette Jeffers: “ChocolateMatch.com”
"ChocolateMatch.com" chronicles a woman's roller coaster journey
with men through online dating.
Amy Milano: “Dancing With Crazies”
"Dancing
with Crazies" is a wild tale about
one woman's search for love and a place to call home. Raised by a very unconventional family, often living
in a van and being passed
around to her relatives she finds the one thing that grounds her...dance. Her dancing takes her half way around the world where she meets a colorful cast of characters that help guide her on the journey. Comedian Amy Milano shares her heart and makes everyone laugh
along the way.

Barbara Cole: “Surviving Chrysalis”
To help her deal with the very real mid-life crisis she is
surprised to find herself in, Barbara Cole conjures up three
diverse and delightful characters for guidance. There is Joy, the liberated
drummer who refuses to live a fearful life; Mildread, the judgmental
and gritty sister-in-law who proves there is life after tremendous loss;
and finally, there is the lovable neighbor Tiffany, with an odd mix of faith
and infidelity, who shows us that dreams really can come true.
Kiha S. Lee: “The Red Ribbon”
Kiha S. Lee's performance of "The Red
Ribbon" deals
with the realities of human nature. It reflects a woman's experiences as a
female, and as an Asian, living in a culturally-diverse society.
Karen A. Clark: “The
Women”
"My
mother provided the 'WOW! Factor' in my life. She was Laura Petrie and Dorothy
Dandridge rolled into one. She was independent, fierce, sexy and smart. But as
fun as she was, Ora Christine was a strict disciplinarian. I got into more
trouble with my mother in 7th grade than any other time in my life! But
the summer following was another one of our special family reunions, and the
honored tradition of bread making day! Bread making at our family reunions
healed all wounds and cleared up all misunderstandings! These women, my mother
and her sisters were essential to our line. 'Bread's out!', the unifying
cry."

Chrystee Pharris: “In Search of O”
A
play about waiting until marriage at 27 to have sex and the fantasy vs. reality
of that experience. What do you do after age 30...after reading every
book...asking all the experts...and you still have not found your “O”?!
Cece Antoinette: “Watermelon: Git It While Its Hot”
This coming of age and rites of
passage journey looks at one women’s life growing up Black, female and
spiritual in Dallas, Texas.
