British talk-show host David Frost has become a lowbrow laughingstock. Richard M. Nixon has just resigned the United States presidency in total disgrace over Vietnam and the Watergate scandal. Determined to resurrect his career, Frost risks everything on a series of in-depth interviews in order to extract an apology from Nixon. The cagey Nixon, however, is equally bent on redeeming himself in his nation’s eyes. In the television age, image is king, and both men are desperate to out-talk and upstage each other as the cameras roll. The result is the interview that sealed a president’s legacy.
“Structured as a prize fight between two starkly ambitious men in professional crisis, FROST/NIXON makes it clear that the competitor who controls the camera reaps the spoils.” —NY Times.

Miss Nelson can’t control her crazy classroom because she’s just too nice. But when she disappears, her replacement is the hard-as-nails, detention-loving, recess-canceling, homework-overloading substitute teacher Viola Swamp!

THE LOVE TALKER
By Deborah Pryor
The Love Talker is an eerie and sensual play set in an age when strange spirits walked the earth and magic was all around.
A GHOST STORY
By John Pielmeier
Two hikers seek shelter from a winter blizzard in an isolated Maine cabin. They meet a mysterious girl and soon the three share ghost stories, at first fanciful and then suddenly disquieting as the imagined becomes the real.
