The wine hits the fan as some real housewives of the Westchester’s Book Club gather to discuss their current required reading,  The Homeless Dogs of Egypt.  During their chardonnay fueled discussion, they find out that the rights to their book club have been sold to a reality TV production company. It’s “Oprah” meets the “Jersey Shore.” Don't judge a book club by its cover, you never know how the pages will turn.

*Reading Under The Influence had its world premiere on April 16th, 2011 in NYC at the DR2.

AMERICAN STARE

Set in a trailer park in South Florida, this new dark comedy, American Stare, mines the visceral anger of the disenfranchised white lower class. Following the spiraling lives of three sets of people; a widowed woman and her dog, a disabled and accused child-predator, and a couple and their teenage daughter, we are challenged to see the world through their eyes -- a world led by a broken moral compass and tainted with the pervasiveness of special interests. In the end, we learn the true meaning of community.
