Have you ever attended a seminar where the facilitator paces back and forth to a preset rhythm of words, poignant breaks, and crescendos all while referring to a pile of well-rehearsed notes? If so, As Long as I'm Sitting Here will teach you how to have fun as you navigate your way through any seminar. Robert B. Smith will have you laughing out loud as he cleverly summarizes a day in the life of a seminar attendee. You will learn how to overcome boredom as the speaker rambles on about his life story, attempts to use humor to teach valuable workplace lessons, and encourages participants to eat five-thousand-calorie sticky buns during breaks. Smith reflects on his own experiences as a seminar leader as he pokes fun at the entire process, including how speakers work the room, how they single out the hecklers, and how they incorporate the "hard sell" of their books and audio tapes throughout the day. All kidding aside, Smith's message is clear. Attending a self-help seminar cannot change you unless you choose to be changed. As Long as I'm Sitting Here will show you a whole new way of looking at a day spent out of the office-sticky buns and all!

With its shut-down mines, with its scarred and restive blue-collar descendants of Eastern European and Italian immigrants, Rocksburg, Pennsylvania, is in the midst of tough times. And no one has it tougher than its own police chief, Mario Balzic. Working harder and longer hours than he ever did in his long-ago rookie days, Balzic again pilots a black-and-white through the town's brooding streets. The recent death of his mother, whose warm presence is especially missed by his wife Ruth, doesn't make it easier. Balzic answers a call: a strange woman, Valery, mother of a young daughter named Coo, warns that her violent husband may exact a brutal form of revenge on a truck-driver with a shady past. She wants Balzic to head off the attack, but supplies few details. Balzic senses worse trouble ahead than suggested by Valery - and events prove Balzic's instincts apocalyptically correct. Meanwhile, at the local tavern, Balzic encounters Myushkin, a wild, deceptively eccentric Russian-American writer, with nine novels to his credit, no visible means of support, and an alarming facility with a .22 revolver. It's Myushkin who becomes Balzic's spiritual guide through the case - and a peculiarly American, distinctly personal brand of hell.

An intriguing story about half-brothers who reunite in the legal justice system—one as a prosecuting attorney and the other on Death Row—and a race against time for the young prosecutor to save his older brother’s life. At the age of one, James is adopted by his paternal grandparents, who raise him as their own son, never telling him about his older half-brother or his real parents. Six-year-old Warren—James’s brother—is left to his own devices. Twenty-seven years later, James is flourishing as a prosecuting attorney until an event leads him to discover his older half-brother. Warren is now on Death Row, two weeks away from execution for the rape and murder of a white woman. He is innocent, but can James do anything to save his brother’s life before it’s too late?

Trouble starts when Teresa tells her brother that this guy did something to her with his dog in bed. Nobody seems to know exactly what, but they do know that somebody's got to pay. So what is 'The Dog Problem'? It's the wrong thing said to the wrong person. From then on it's a chain reaction of misplaced passions and galloping sentences leading to deadly conclusions in a darkly funny play about men, women, ghosts, sex, betrayal, psychic power and the realization that when you destroy the natural world in Act One, you better look out in Act Two.
