“The Wrong Kind of Woman”
by Sarah McCraw Crow  

A powerful exploration of what a woman can be when what she should be is no longer an option.  

In late 1970, Oliver Desmarais drops dead while hanging Christmas lights. In the year that follows, his widow, Virginia, struggles to find her place on the campus of the elite Clarendon College where Oliver was a professor. While Virginia had always shared her husband’s prejudices against the four outspoken, never-married women on the faculty, she now finds herself depending on them.  

Soon, though, reports of violent protests across the country reach the campus, stirring tensions. As authorities attempt to tamp down “radical elements,” Virginia must decide whether she’s willing to put herself and her family at risk for a cause that had never felt like her own.

“Liberty”
by Dyanna Morrison  

“Liberty” is a must read for every American concerned about the senseless proliferation of gun violence and mass shootings in the United States!  

Few issues merit as much debate in the 21st century as Second Amendment rights and gun control versus gun rights issues. “Liberty,” the second play in this trilogy, shines a spotlight on Second Amendment abuses/protections, with our founding fathers witnessing the hypothetical trial of the President of the National Rifle Association through a one-way window in the courtroom.  

The proceedings are interspersed with the rationale our framers used in penning the Second Amendment, questioning its applicable use as a defense for military assault style rifles commonly used in mass shootings, that are so easy to purchase. “Liberty” is a Book Excellence/International Book Award Finalist.
