Dammit, Office Girl! Written by James Comtois. An employee pines, if not yearns, for an administrative assistant from afar. And by "afar," we mean "five feet away."
Brooklyn Skank Written by Fernanda Coppel. Leslie and Ryan work for Brooklyn Skank, an overpriced and trendy boutique in Brooklyn that is famous for its T-shirts that say "Made by a Brooklyn Skank." Part of their daily routine is answering the age-old question, "Are these Brooklyn Skank T-shirts actually made by a Skank?" Leslie and Ryan have a stock answer that is approved by the Brooklyn Skank Corporation, but as this story unravels you get the sense that Leslie and Ryan have no idea how these garments are made and who makes them.

A short play about the ties that bind mixed with live jazz.
