"Hotline"
By Elaine May

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"
by Angie Ransdell

In this new piece by Detroit-based author, Angie Ransdell, a robber
attepmts to rob a credit union through the drive-thru window and gets more
than he barganed for.

Characters:

Ann - Female, 20s-30s, Level-headed and easy to relate to, she exhibits
calm and understated behavior. Has a certain maturity that is easily
believable.

Tracy - Female, 30s-40s, Ditzy and flaky branch manager is all about
performance and numbers in the middle of a crisis.

Shaniqua - African American, Female, 30s-40s, An over-the-top,
strong-willed, woman who speaks her mind.

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 forgets that she's only been working with her
co-workers for less than a day.

Robber - Male, 30s-40s, Sensible, kind, and calm man who becomes easily
distracted from initial goal.
