- THE VULGAR LIBRARIAN by Vanessa DeWolf
- starring Dawn Eshelman and Robin Kurtz
- This is Ida Mae Pepper, and this is her world. As a career librarian, she knows all too well that categorizing thought comes precariously close to totalitarism. In The Vulgar Librarian, Ida Mae liberates herself from an oppressive and clingy world through luscious books, glue-sniffing, and silent movie fantasies. But the coming storm blows something into her literary enclave that threatens to change everything...

- BROOKLYN PLAYWRIGHTS COLLECTIVE
- An evening of three one-acts presented by writers direct from the borough! "Security", by Sabrina Chapadjiev, explores our perceptions of the homeless, and how much we owe someone who saves our life. David Ames' "The Rape of Mary Jane" details the breakup of a young couple on the brink. "Exercising The Devil" by Will Cordeiro is a witty postmodern sex romp detailing the struggles of a horny Brooklyn husband who just can't seem to get his rocks off! New writers...see them first here!
