When Bill's adoptive parents die and he is laid off from his job, he feels lost. His need to find out who he is and where he comes from grows stronger. The search for his birth parents takes him from Missouri to Connecticut. What he finds shocks and disturbs him, but is he disappointed? This funny, suspenseful play tackles the plight of grown children lost in a closed system, where parents' rights trump their children's need to know.

When a high school achiever's college application reveals a family secret, her mother goes on damage control as a 500-word essay sends the family into a tailspin. But is this child traumatized by domestic violence as the essay claims, or by a culture that has trained her to market herself at any cost?
