Some people fall in love at first sight. Others fall in love like a slow, bloody surrender. A play about when to leap, when not to, and how the stranger at a coffee shop could be the person who knows you the best.

American Sexy was selected to be part of the Guthrie Theater's innaugrial Singled Out Festival of Emerging Artists with three other outstanding, local companies: Four Humors, Lamb Lays with Lion, and Sandbox Theater.

STRONG - A serial killer prowls young girls, but the detectives tracking him have secrets of their own, a past connection that starts them investigating one another, a dangerous game that might let the real killer go free.
LITTLE GREEN MAN - The interrogation of an alien never goes as planned, especially when you don't know who's in charge...

"Another success for The New Theatre Group. Director Brian Balcom leads an all-star cast through two terrifically written one act plays. A MUST SEE for anyone who enjoys top-notch professional theater at its best."
- Sid Soloman, Online Audience Review

American Sexy is a new play about how our over-sexed world is changing our definitions of relationships in the flesh. How does face-time change as we interact more and more as voices, text fragments, and images? Our intrinsic need to compete can push us to great limits, but what happens when the goals are emotional?

"...it's a jaundiced, heart-heavy depiction of post-romance sexuality, when a declaration of love is regarded as an antiquated inconvenience. This is a work that drops grenades without cleaning up afterward, a raw look at a culture unacquainted (or perhaps overly acquainted) with its own desires."
- Quinton Skinner, City Pages

Killer Smile is a dark comedy about the difference between our pleasant social façade and the potential for spite that lies underneath. What does it take to crack through the surface and reveal the hate and hostility we keep buried inside?

"This show is tremendously entertaining... good work from Steve Moulds on writing some amazing exchanges and clever running jokes, and it's made even more wonderful by the talented cast and capable direction. This party goes from bad to worse, and it just keeps getting better."
- John Heimbuch, Online Audience Review

Often comedy and mostly realistic, How to Cheat explores the lives of two affluent outsiders as they tumble into bed together against their better judgment. Are we really entitled to the “pursuit of happiness” even when we hurt others? In a world where so many people live in such strange and often tragic circumstances, is our highest purpose to find our pleasure? Or, when two people come together can they create something larger than themselves?

"This is the real deal. An actual play with articulate, vibrant, interesting characters that will make you laugh, think and care what happens to them, embodied by actors and a director who know how to wrestle with complex material and bring it to life..."
