About the show
Soap Opera by David Ives
The “ol’ lonely” washing-machine repairman falls in love with a picture-perfect washer. Should he tell his girlfriend Mabel? Is the washer two-timing him with a dryer? Stay tuned.
Saturday Night by Christopher Shinn
Deep into their relationship, Corey and Alex reflect on their friends, their likes and dislikes (of others and each other), and what they will do that evening. All this after a very orange and gelatinous meal in a Chinese restaurant. Find out how the fortune cookie crumbles.
So Tell Me About This Guy by Dolores Whiskeyman
Marla’s got a new guy and Angie wants to know more about him. In this very pinter-esque piece, the girlfriends seem to be on the same wave-length - but Marla’s boyfriend, Michael, seems to create a few waves of his own.
Guys by Robb Badlam
Duff chats incessantly upon his favorite attribute in women, all the while interrupting Ty’s peaceful break of doing the crossword “in his head”. Will Duff or Ty score with the “mcnuggets girl”?
