Three young women do their laundry at night in a laundromat. As they wait, the laundromat triggers memories of significant moments they experienced in the space, each of them confronted with emotional conflicts regarding sexuality, tradition, family or death.

Dealing with tragedy, grief, and death is a part of every human's life. It's how we learn to accept these moments that largely define who we are. Coming to Terms parallels the life of a woman losing her sister with the life of a man losing his life long friend. They are faced with one of life's most painful trials, finding love in the midst of loss.

It’s the Breakfast Club for Teachers! This absurdist comedy follows MARK KNOWLES, a snobbish British transplant, on suspension from his job as a Principal of a NYC public high school to a Detention Center (“RUBBER ROOM”), for an indefinite period. He quickly makes himself at odds with his zany fellow “cell” mates. Adrien is a long-time resident of the Rubber Room with a penchant for violence; Malinda, a potential love interest and the sage assistant principal who likes to play coy; Dilshan, the first teacher to find “inner-peace” in the Rubber Room but labeled incompetent by his peers; and Jackie, a high-school teacher who’s pregnant by one of her underage students. “THE RUBBER ROOM” pits Mark against these four personalities while being under the finger of Claire, the cougar-ish Superintendent who controls the room and sees Mark as a potential threat. As Mark undergoes the tension of having his personal and professional integrity challenged he slowly is being taught about sacrifice, tolerance of others, and especially oneself. Will Mark learn his lesson before it is too late, or will he be confined to the Rubber Room forever?

Bluey, a charming sock puppet, searches for love on a dating site called Perfect Pair.
