Watch,
A Haunting by Molly Rice October 16th - November 2nd, 2008
Directed
by Lynn Morton
Watch, A Haunting, centers around a young girl named VI living with her neurotic mother and elderly
grandmother. Never fitting in, VI spends most of her time in her room or supplementing her lack of friends with food. VI does
have a special talent, a talent of seeing people that others cannot. When she befriends a girl that no one else can see, her
mother quickly makes an appointment with a PHD who may be after a Pulitzer, rather than providing any real help. Is VI crazy?
Or is she simply able to “see dead people…?” About

Smolder
by Julie Lewis April 9th-26th,
2009
After an accident leaves Sylvia scarred, her building's superintendent, and former admirer,
Reno, is left as her only contact with the outside world. As her dependency on Reno grows, Sylvia's previous life as a
publicist become more dim. Smolder juxtaposes scenes from her bright, self-absorbed past with scenes from her dark and self-deprecating
present. We see that Reno's former obsession with loving Sylvia turns to resentment, as adoration turns to torture.
About Julie: Julie Lewis is a playwright, director
and Assistant Professor of Theatre at the Community College of Baltimore County - Essex. As a full time
faculty member, Julie teaches classes in Acting 1, Acting 2, Introduction to Theatre, Writing for the Stage and Script Analysis.
