POPTART! is a new play by Krystle Phelps that takes a searing look at a pop star whose life unravels the night leading up to an important concert. Directed by Gwenevere Sisco, this production focuses on a diva with a major chip on her shoulder, her long-suffering personal assistant, and a washed up rock star looking for a paycheck. While not a traditional musical, the artists featured in the story perform live original music by James Parenti, Krystle Phelps, and Trish Phelps. Exploring themes of gender, race, and all things celebrity, POPTART! delves into the need to be truly heard ... even if you have nothing to say.

THE DUMBWAITER, by Harold Pinter, is a one act play written in 1957. Almost 60 years on, it still has a lot to say about our need to assert our individuality while seeking meaning. It still manages to make a profound statement about the human condition. The title refers not only to the food lift that delivers orders to the two hit-men, Ben (Ken Webster) and Gus (Jason Phelps), but also refers to Gus, who doesn't know that he is waiting to be the victim, and possibly even to Ben, whose blind obedience to higher authority eventually causes him to be confronted with having to eliminate his partner.

A stormy night sets things in motion when an egg falls from its nest, only to land on the back of a passing dove. The dove can't hold onto the egg for long so he safely deposits it in the nest of a hen in a coop full of chickens on a nearby farm. A heartwarming humorous story about life lessons follows, described in a new book released by Dog Ear Publishing. Inspired by the author's real-life story and sighting of an eagle soaring above, 'I'm an Eagle, Not a Field Chick' stars Goldie, a young eagle who can't seem to fit in. Even as a newly hatched eaglet, she had different colored feathers and was bigger than all the other chickens, and her size and differences only continues to set her apart. Goldie doesn't like the bland diet of her fine-feathered friends, which leads them to believe she is a snob. A mischievous snake adds to the young eagle's woes by stirring up trouble, and she decides to leave the barnyard behind and build her own nest in a nearby tree. Eventually Goldie realizes she needs to journey farther than the tree to make her own way in life, so she starts up the mountain on foot. She encounters new friends, learning lessons along the way, including how to soar like a true eagle when she reaches the peak and meets her soulmate, Boaz. Written as a modern-day parable, the dove represents God and the snake symbolizes Satan, and the barnyard animals are the doubters and people who aren't what they seem. Discussion notes for each chapter guides readers into their own journey of faith and introspection. Illustrations by Aaron Hover help bring the faith-affirming story to life in vivid color. Author Rebekah Phelps owns Extra You LLC, a personal concierge company that offers services from watching houses, running errands and waiting on contractors.
