In 2010, at the height of the recession, Carthage Financial, a prestigious Wall St. accounting firm, begins a series of layoffs and cutbacks, all supposedly done for the greater cause of saving the firm from financial ruin. But when a standard issue desk chairturns out to be a cardboard box, and the most recent hire is a blow-up doll named Charlotte, Elizabeth Bailen, the manager of the IT department, begins to wonder what hidden motives are actually driving this new reality. As the situation deteriorates, asloyalties break down and belief systems crumble, she realizes that cosmic forces and new life forms are emerging from the ruins.

It is dedicated to a rugged aesthetic and seeks to tell stories, both new and old, classic and contemporary, which reflect our lives, relationships and the world today. Past productions have included Of Mice and Men, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the world premiere play 3 Men which won Best Non Fiction piece at this years' Solo Fest, the New Jersey Premiere of Neil Labute's Bash and last years world premiere of Jackson Is Gone by New Jersey State Council on the Arts winner Joanne Hoersch.
