When performed as a set of 2 or 3, audiences may delight in recurring characters and themes, including hidden jokes and deeper lore. Each play can also stand up on it's own and be performed individually to great effect.

Octogenarians of Anarchy:
An elderly couple are blind-sided by an unexpected bank error, putting them in hot water. With no help to be found from the bank representative, the trio of seniors decide on a drastic course of action, determined to take matters into their own hands.
Some Guy from the Internet:
When a stranger arrives to their home for a date with their mother, Scott and Lynda are not pleased. Things quickly turn from awkward to dangerous when it becomes apparent that the suitor is not who he claims to be. Is it all one big misunderstanding, or is it time to fight?
