THE LEVERET
THE LEVERET is a solo play about the Spanish Franciscan Friar and architect, Antonio Cruzado. Cruzado designed and built the San Gabriel Mission that still stands in Los Angeles using the enforced labor of the Gabrielino Tongva people to construct the magnificent church there, the fourth of 21 missions that proliferated up the coast of California under the direction of Father Junipero Serra.
Cruzado wrestled with his calling to create a beautiful, sacred sanctuary while heedful that it could not happen without the cruel subjugation of the Native people who would build it. In his self-reflection, ambition, guilt, anger, piety and desire somehow serve his aesthetic perfectionism but stumble over his spiritual imperfection. Can the mission’s beauty and its history coincide?

MIDWEST PORN
In MIDWEST PORN, students at St. Mary’s Elementary School are preparing for Confirmation, but fourth-grader Beatrice and her coterie threaten to boycott the ceremony due to their doctrinal differences with Catholic orthodoxy. At the same time, low enrollment and an infestation of turtles threaten the very survival of the school. The situation worsens when Mikey shoots one of the turtles in the girls' bathroom. Mikey's father Richie, bent on reviving the city’s economy by creating adult entertainment videos in an abandoned factory, gets involved. Porn, parents, children and turtles come together in a revelation that somehow saves both Confirmation and St. Mary’s.
