Plot Synopses for Detective Sketches and Frostbite

By Connor Read, staff reporter

Frostbite by Lisa D’Amour is a drama based on old Asian theatre methods with a modern twist. Matt and Kira, a committed teenage couple, decide to go down to the clearing with Kira’s friend, Sheila. Matt would much rather enjoy his time alone with his girlfriend, but Kira invites Sheila as a sympathetic gesture. Sheila’s been known to have depression. However, a strange “kid” finds them at the clearing and may just hold a few interesting secrets that affect the future of these typical teenagers.

Detective Sketches: Trouble is Eating My Pants by Douglas Post is a great, satirical parody, which pokes fun at all other detective comedies. It stars Alex Diver, a veteran private investigator. He comes across many interesting characters along his path, trying to solve a case submitted by the Lady in Green, his ultimate infatuation. However, when all the clues start to add up, Diver discovers some disturbing information that may just blow everything out of the water. This witty production is sure to keep you laughing at all times. Combining satire and a humorously stereotypical plot, Detective Sketches keeps audiences smiling wherever it’s performed.
