In “Righting the Constitution” by Anthony Caselli, the guardians of The Bill of Rights discover a typo that threatens to shake the foundations of our country.

Spring Comedy Festival“Foul Play” by Jeffrey Herman is a wild takeoff on old film noir detective movies, with a twist.

“A Couple of New Women Sittin’ Around Talking” is Jeff Daniels’ portrayal of a very special support group, which begins with stereotypical male-bashing and ends in surprise.

“Four Extremely Attractive Women Sitting Around Fantasizing About Rich Spring Comedy FestivalOrloff” by Rich Orloff is the author’s own fantasy, very well described by the title.

Dennis E. North’s “The Date”, an insightful look at the sexual games we play, is about a morose man outside a dance club who meets an angel clad in a most unusual disguise.

“Rosemary and Julian”, also by Jeff Daniels, takes place Spring Comedy Festivalon a movie set on which two stars are preparing to shoot a nude love scene.

“2 Cats in the Yard,” penned, performed and sung by Suzi Regan, is a bluesy love story involving a folk singer and a blue collar man; he has mistaken her for the radio, and she’s struggling with her self-image, caught between art and life.
