MOTEL
TALES by Stuart Ostfeld
September 1992 - ACME Theatricks Production, Seattle Mime Theatre
The lives and loves of Room #4. Tina and Del fight over chicken, Michael and Connie fight over the car. Leon tenderly recreates the memory of a love lost, while Lois politely abandons her lover of one night. Each of the guests in the single room or this run-down motel craves the unconditional understanding that can cure their loneliness, but can neither ask for nor offer it. MOTEL TALES is a darkly comic, bittersweet tale of modern alienation and temporary salvation in our rootless society.
Among the playwright's influences for MOTEL TALES was his participation in ACME's 1990 summer youth drama program at Echo Glen Children's Center, a Washington state facility for juvenile felony offenders.

-from "Beyond True & False" by Robert Anton Wilson
What do we hold as orthodox and what do we see as the "fringes" of reason? The same skepticism that we apply to those things we consider suspicious can also be applied by others to the things we believe. Some times funny, sometimes sad, STRANGE LOOPS uncovers worlds of uncertainty in the real, unreal, and surreal. Join ACME in discovering what might have really happened to John Dillinger and all his parts… and while you're at it, why is everyone so interested in your Social Security number? STRANGE LOOPS is:
