When an approaching comet threatens Earth, a small group of astronomers grapple with the question: warn the world, or keep silent? Comet centers on the Minor Planet Center (MPC), an international organization based in Boston, which acts as the worldwide repository of information about comets, asteroids, and other natural satellites. Members of the MPC serve an important purpose not only as a scientific body, but as one preoccupied with planetary defense; if an asteroid or comet ever threatens Earth, the Minor Planet Center will be the first to raise the alarm.

HEART is a black comedy, seemingly about an artificial heart recipient, but ultimately it is about all affairs of the heart. Robert Bixler, a plumbing contractor who dreams of being a tap dancer, has actually been tap dancing around his life until he brings on a massive heart attack. Now continually drugged for pain, his body lies in repose (as people talk over and around him) while his mind (played by a separate actor) fantasizes about his present and future while ruefully re-examining his past. Family and friends visit while the medical community treats him as their guinea pig. In the first act, the decision is whether or not to be the recipient of the artificial heart. In the second, the results of the “experiment” kick in, along with the side-effects and aftermath. Along the way, numerous questions are raised: if one could extend one’s natural time, should one? What are our obligations to our families and friends? And what, ultimately is our true heart?

The Miser is the story of skinflint Harpagon’s war with his son Clay and daughter Lise, both of whom he endeavours to wield like commodities in his effort to dominate the world food market. Clay, a would-be film maker, and Lise, a struggling artist, start as romantic idealists who are unable to stand up to their tyrannical father. Over the course of their battles, their belief in the power of love over money is tested. Amid this war, we meet a host of intriguing and delightful characters who endeavour to survive their employment with Harpagon or outwit him for money. They include the streetwise conman Lafleche, the seductive wheeler dealer Fanny, the shady henchman Queasel, and the hapless chauffeur-cook Jackie. But in the end, it is Lise and Clay who triumph, with the aid of a surprising revelation from Harpagon’s silent business partner, Anselme. The play is a battle between generations and ideologies that unfolds in remarkable comic scenes. In confrontations with Dad, Clay discovers that he and his father are both in love with the same waitress, and Lise realizes that her lover has sold out his socialist values to win Harpagon’s support. Meanwhile, Lafleche, caught prowling around Harpagon’s office, finds an amusing way to torment the old miser, while cook-chauffeur Jackie is sorely punished when Harpagon lures him into confessing the dreadful things people say about him. Ultimately, the play peels away layer upon layer of Harpagon’s greed, revealing his intense lust for money and his paranoia that the whole world is out to get him. The Miser is Molière’s masterpiece of comedy, finely honed with a dark strand of satire, given a fresh and relevant revisioning in today’s world of corporate greed.
