Just how well do you know all your “friends” on social media? In this fast-moving “light comedy about dark people leading private lives in public places,” when the grieving Charlie Windsor meets the gregarious Diana Black-White in a New York Theater District bar they become instant BFFs. Much to the consternation of his closest friend since childhood, Broadway actor Ed McGrath, Charlie is almost immediately hurled into an overwhelming whirl of dark secrets, questionable loyalties, and highly dysfunctional family dynamics; a world for which Charlie is completely unprepared. Goddess Of The Hunt is a gleefully silly homage to those romantic comedy thrillers of the 1960s via Roman mythology, updated to the creepy, contemporary world of social media and – perhaps too much – information sharing.

HEAVENLY SUNLIGHT takes place in 1984 in the home of a middle-class black family from Haines, Illinois, on the occasion of Calvin (Cal) Thorne’s thirty-fifth birthday.

With the arrival of relatives, the Thomases – Miriam, Ben’s older sister; Abe, Miriam’s conservative husband; and Harris, their son who is on the spectrum – comes competitiveness, resentments, the gay baiting of Cal, and a well-kept family secret. It is a play about dreams deferred, moments missed and great expectations.
