IN CELEBRATION – When three brothers return home to their northern roots for a reunion, long-held grievances and family issues intrude on the party atmosphere.

THE CONTRACTOR – In the first act men assemble on a lawn and put up a tent; in the second it is festooned; in the third, dismantled. Meanwhile a wedding takes place as a bizarre collection of misfits from the wedding party and the tent contracting outfit interact in a poetic parable.
