The 19th season of Summerworks, which continues through July 5, features 41-Derful, written and directed by Jenny Schwartz (God's Ear, Somewhere Fun); I'm Pretty Fu**ed Up by Ariel Stess (The Only Girl in the Hot Tub, Mother Milk), directed by Kip Fagan; and 16 Words Or Less by Peggy Stafford (Motel Cherry), directed by Portia Krieger. 

In 41-Derful, "two jaded co-workers discover their own version of civic responsibly in the shadow of a disgraced politician's public meltdown."

"Three teenagers ditch school to drive through the mountains of New Mexico, while back on campus an addled security guard faces his demons" in I'm Pretty Fu**ed Up.

"A lone and over-helpful flower shop clerk tries to contain the challenges of her customers' lives, but can't do the same for herself" in 16 Words Or Less.
