MISERY by William Goldman
She’s his biggest fan… and a bloody nightmare.
Meet successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, rescued from a near fatal car crash by his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes, and recovering in her secluded farmhouse. How can he possibly thank her enough? By giving her a sneak-peek at his latest book, of course. But when Annie discovers the author has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain, the novelist may be forced to write as if his life depends on it.

THE DARK HEART OF DOOLEY STEVENS by Francis Gercke
Directed by Hannah Meade
Featuring JESSICA JOHN & MJ SIEBER
In a barren desert in the spooky Southwest, Dooley Stevens sets out on a quest to rescue his long-time love – Cindy Blank – from a lifetime of poor decisions. There’s only one problem. Cindy isn’t in distress, she isn’t in need of rescue, and the only poor decision she ever made was Dooley.
“Gercke has said he based The October Night of Johnny Zero on an incident from his own childhood. If so, it’s hard to imagine what other wildly imaginative stories he’ll plumb from his past for his future plays.” — Pam Kragen, The San Diego Union Tribune
