Tall Tales Of True Stories at 440 Studios

Propinquity Productions presents Tall Tales Of True Stories, six short plays by Jonathan Todd Ross, at 440 Studios from 1 - 4 Aug 2007.

Tall Tales Of True Stories. Six short plays follow six young men who connect with women but can�t commit to them. One-night stands, obscene fantasies, sexually fraught male bonding and chance encounters with old girlfriends reveal their anxieties run deep and their egos loom large � but they might be ready for something more � just maybe not quite yet?

• In Morning Breath: Mark (Brian J. Carter) wants more than a one-night stand with Julie (Rachel Martsolf) but has he been single for so long that he only knows how to communicate through insults and evasions? Directed by Jeff Tabnick.
  
• The Spring I Was a Man: After an elevator ride, with a model, a computer programmer (Birch Harms) becomes obsessed with a certain obscene phrase. Directed by Helena Prezio.
  
• Halftime: Roommates Troy (Matty D. Stuart) and Brett (Daniel Cohen) watch football on a Sunday afternoon. Intimacy takes many forms... Directed by Joseph Ward.
  
• In Comfortable Pants: The hunt for a new wardrobe leads a young couple to wonder what other changes they need to make in their lives. With Ari Butler, Emily Hagburg and Nick Cearley. Directed by Courtney Phelps.
  
• Closure: A young man (Matty D. Stuart) runs into his former girlfriend (Shannon Kirk) in the park. They broke up so long ago. He is totally over her. Absolutely over her. There are just one or two small things he�d like to get off his chest . Directed by Steve Bebout.
  
• In Force of Habit: A perpetually lonely guy (Brian J. Carter) pontificates to his bartender (Talia Rubel) on why being alone on his 30th birthday is so great. When she gives him a taste of her own loneliness, he finds what he didn�t know he was looking for. Directed by Jeff Tabnick.
