"*Hotline*":  Originally the second play in the compilation called Death
Defying Acts, Hotline features a neurotic woman with enough urban angst to
fill a neighborhood calling a suicide crisis hotline late one night. The
counselor who gets the call is overwhelmed - it is his first night on the
job. This dark and desperate, wildly funny piece runs approximately forty
minutes.

Characters
Dorothy - Female, 20s-40s, A lewd, sharp-tongued, prostitute with a heart
of gold.  Suffers from depression due monotony of life style.
Ken - Male, late 20s-40s, An eager, new recruit at the suicide hotline.
Quickly finds out that he's way over his head.
Marty - Male, late 20s-40s, A likible, veteran of the "help" line circuit,
he has become cavalier about his work at these hotlines.
Dr. Russell - Male, 30s-60s, The head psychologist at this branch of the
suicide hotline, can be best described as a "motivational speaker" type.
Delivery man - Male, 20s-40s, Average Joe, working-man type.
*"Peoples Republic":*  In this new piece by Detroit-based author, Angie
Ransdell, a robber visits a credit union and gets more than he expected.

calm and understated behavior.

performance and numbers in the middle of a crisis.

Jill - Female, 20s-40s, a sheepish woman with a self-depricating
attitude.   Best described as having a"door-mat" personality.
Melissa - Female, 20s, Young, bright-eyed temp, so eagar to be part of the
team that she often forgetsthat she's only been working with her co-workers
for less than a day.
