Setting
NORTH STONINGTON, CT
JUNE 14, 2071

All hail the United States of Health! And all do. But terrifying rumors are spreading of a covert budgetary agency capping the life span of citizens. Elizabeth, living in a remote gentleman’s farmhouse in Connecticut, is fraught with paranoia of her own blue-blood husband. Is he one of the secret agents culling Americans with a mysterious device called the passion light?

Everything is at stake for Elizabeth, her lavish organic farm of strawberries and the safety of her homosexual son, a son destined for quarantine after sleeping around with her quality-controlled illegals. She’s no revolutionary. But the stranger at her door may be.

FINISHING HOUSE is performed by Natalie Ferrier, Jessica Howell and Bob Jaffe.

EN PLEIN AIR—IMPRESSIONS OF PAINTING IN GIVERNY & OLD LYME premiered on June 25th at the Florence Griswold Museum in historic Old Lyme, CT. Written, designed and performed by Christopher Eaves, EN PLEIN AIR coincided with the Museum's exhibition Impressionist Giverny—American Painters in France, 1885–1915, Selections from the Terra Foundation for American Art. [New York Times exhibition review]

EN PLEIN AIR brings to the stage the aesthetics and themes of early American Impressionism, the lives of impressionist artists and impressionist paintings through the immersion of movement, text, light and sound. EN PLEIN AIR is lit by animated video projections of the exhibition paintings—providing an ever changing landscape of Giverny and Old Lyme where a Painter Pierrot travels in search of the light, his muse and the good advices of Claude Monet.
