Sightings
by Brad Slaight Jarred Morton is waiting for the Zuns to come pick him up. The play centers around Jarred who is trying to persuade his childhood sweetheart to come with him to the planet of his dreams. Sightings examines the innocence and emotions of not only teenagers, but of people of all ages. It sifts through the pressures of social acceptance and the canyon they can create between relationships. This charming piece provides a frank exploration of friendship and integrity, as well as the testing of beliefs. More importantly, it's a journey that discovers and confronts the truth

High Tide
by Brad Slaight In High Tide, a chance meeting with two girls on a beach helps two young men sort out their feelings about the death of their best friend. The play follows two young surfers who have just come from the funeral of their close friend and, in many ways, mentor - Kirk. The two boys confide in each other about Kirk, and they agree that possibly, neither of them ever really knew him. A chance encounter with two young women on vacation helps the guys sort out feelings about the death of their best friend, and reveals the truth about Kirk's passing.
