Bull in a China Shop

Written by: C. B. GilfordDirected by: Paul Adam

When a houseful of sweet little old ladies discover that a handsome bachelor lives across the street, they are delighted. When they learn that he is none other than Detective Dennis O’Finn, of Homicide, they are faced with the problem of how to attract his attention. The answer is simplicity itself: a nice, genteel homicide with a cup of tea as the murder weapon. When a brash young woman reporter begins to suspect the truth, she becomes the next target. O’Finn is terribly embarrassed when at last he discovers that he himself is the motive for these madcap goings-on, and, in desperation, manages to solve the case. But the dear old ladies are too fond of him and in the end they turn the tables on him! First a short story in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, later a success on Alfred Hitchcock Presents and now a stage veteran of hundreds of performances around the country, Bull in a China Shop continues to enchant audiences everywhere!

Indoor/Outdoor

Written by: Kenny Finkle

In this unabashedly sentimental comedy, a cat named Samantha has just started living with a guy named Shuman who she believes is her true love. At first everything seems to be going great. Samantha can't get enough of Shuman and he can't get enough of her. But soon Samantha realizes that Shuman doesn't always seem to understand her. Worse yet, Shuman doesn't always seem all that interested in trying to understand her. Things become truly problematic when one night Oscar, a sexy alley cat shows up at the sliding glass door. Suddenly Samantha begins to wonder whether she's an indoor cat or an outdoor cat. To make matters more complicated, a quirky aspiring cat therapist named Matilda inserts herself into the mix, thinking she can solve everyone's problems but only seems to make things worse. Eventually Samantha finds herself on a journey both physical and emotional that leads her to discover what having a home and being loved really mean to her. Indoor/Outdoor is an allegory about the difficulties and joys of all manner of relationships.
