OFFED AT THE BAKE-OFF
Flashback to 1955, the stormy evening before the 33rd annual Knotting Bake-Off, brought to you by J & J Toothpaste. The contestants have gathered at the Knotting Inn down at the Jersey Shore, each hoping that their perfectly crafted baked good will win the coveted blue ribbon. It seems someone's dessert is more deadly than tasty, though, when they discover an entire gaggle of bratty students have been poisoned during a press conference. It is clear that someone at the inn has a sweet tooth for murder. But who could the culprit be? The egotistical bake-off champion? The hard-of-hearing elderly man? The practical jokester nun? The silent fitness model? The clumsy reporter? The amnesiac woman? Or one of the other kooky bake-off contestants roaming around the inn? When a detective (whose name also happens to be Detective) arrives on the scene, he asks the audience to help him figure out whodunit. Flying accusations and flying pies are just a few of the fun ingredients that make this murder mystery a recipe for a hilarious night at the theatre.

THE ABSOLUTE MOST CLICHED ELEVATOR PLAY IN THE HISTORY OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE
When a crowded elevator becomes stuck, one of the passengers, a playwriting instructor, thinks that everybody is in fact trapped in a cliched play by an inexperienced playwright. After all, the elevator does contain a quick-tempered Biker, a spaced-out New Age Woman, and an agitated Pregnant Woman. But when the Instructor goes searching for the playwright, the elevator expands to include even more stereotypes including over-eager cheerleaders, a Goth Kid who writes bad poetry and, of course, a clown. Will the Instructor find the playwright before the cliches become out of control?

CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE'S CHLOROFORM DREAMS
Renaissance dramatist Christopher Marlowe is reimagined as a hard-hitting, hard-drinking private eye in a hazy, dreamlike noir-world laced with fairy tales. Marlowe stands accused of heresy by a villainous druglord who knocks him out with chloroform and leaves him asleep in a speakeasy basement. Moments reinterpreting myths and fairy tales mingle with tropes and archetypes of the genre, the legend around Marlowe s own turbulent biography and the mythology of the play itself: a tangle of religion, love, addiction, and heresy however it 's defined.

However, in an interview, Ernest lets slip his religious beliefs or lack thereof. Soon he must make his electoral stand in Kansas, where he was born, but banished from because of an undisclosed entanglement with a 15 year old girl. When tornadoes hit the state, a flag with the face of Jesus on it leads to online bidding, MMA fights, and a number of other schemes to win the election, as Aleida's hope for Ryan's Law fades.
