It or Her (2006)

"If you love tangents and basement dwellers, rejoice in Dead Genius Productions’ It or Her.  Deranged figurine collector Andrew laments ‘the Red One’ that got away and halts his quest for the ‘ultimate arrangement.’  Christian DuComb lays out for you an abundant spread of paranoia seclusion, loss and sheer fanaticism.” –Philadelphia Citypaper

A Theatrical Rendering of the Modern Life of Karen Bollaert (2005)

"Outrageously creative ... Dead Genius's mix of absurdist comedy and expressionistic dance, A Theatrical Rendering of the Modern Life of Karen Bollaert may be the first work ever to examine the life of a gravel saleswoman ... Cutting edge indeed." - Philadelphia Weekly

Unable to find meaning in her work as a gravel sales associate, Karen Bollaert lives in a virtual reality of small talk, daydreams, random hookups, and ceaseless shopping - until a trip to her company's annual sales convention puts her over the edge.


Substitution Chart (2004)

"A spirited examination of the treacheries of human interaction." - Philadelphia City Paper

A building grows out of an old man's head.  A love letter is rediscovered by a ghost.  "Substitution Chart" draws on sources as varied as F. Scott Fitzgerald, architect Philip Johnson, and the poem "Substitution Chart" by J. Robert Lennon to weave a story of love, loss, and the struggle to communicate.  Can we ever say what we mean?


Apple of Discord (2003)

(featured in the 2003 Philadelphia Fringe Festival collection "3 New Voices"); "Engaging." - Philadelphia Inquirer

What happens when three goddesses compete for a golden apple?  The Trojan War, for one thing.  But you already know that saga.  Now come face to face with the goddesses themselves, and be among the first mortals to confront a secret war - a war that may rage within you.
