In Washington, D.C., a widow named O is trying to figure out whether life is worth re-engaging with. In her path are the 1968 riots, the first Gulf War, the Freedom of Information Act and herself. There's also an archivist named Keith, a cop named Perry and a kid named Cleo. And finally there's the question of just how much about anything do we really need to know.

Novelist, sniper, television personality, delinquent youth. Window washer, tourist, Beelzebub, idealist youth. Vigilante, rock star wannabe, minuteman, apolitical youth. Illegal immigrant. These are the people in your neighborhood. Carlo Alban will inhabit them all, taking the stage in this solo piece.

At the heart of the play is the story of Carlo's family and their move from Ecuador to the United States when Carlo was seven – leaving behind four of his older siblings – and their subsequent economic, legal and social battles. Interspersed are performances of 1960s Latin American protest songs, which speak of the political struggles and the hope for social change that have inspired artists around the world for decades.

JACK GOES BOATING is a new comedy by Bob Glaudini with direction by Peter DuBois. Laced with cooking classes, swimming lessons and a smorgasbord of illegal drugs, JACK GOES BOATING is a story of date panic, marital meltdown, betrayal, and the prevailing grace of the human spirit.

What's the difference between an overweight marketing executive who sells women's lingerie and diet pills and the starving spokesmodel who peddles the goods for the camera? About 100 pounds.
