Also included are five short plays displaying the power and scope of Neil LaBute's creative vision. In "Pick One," three white guys come up with a way to solve America's problems; in "The Possible," one young woman seduces another's boyfriend for an unexpected reason.

Rounding out the collection are two monologues commissioned as part of Centerstage's "My America" project.…
