"Dear Kids, A long time ago, when you were little, Mom and I took
you to where we wanted to build a house. . . . I remember there was
one tree, however, that the three of you couldn't stop staring at.
. . ."
After the family spares him from the builders, Steve the tree
quickly works his way into their lives. He holds their underwear
when the dryer breaks down, he's there when Adam and Lindsay get
their first crushes, and he's the centerpiece at their outdoor
family parties. With a surprising lack of anthropomorphizing, this
is a uniquely poignant celebration of fatherhood, families, love,
and change.
The script to the touching and funny play by Alan Zweibel about his
relationship with famed comiedienne Gilda Radner.

In this send up of the cult Fifties television programme, Dan
Aykroyd plays police sergeant Joe Friday - bumbling nephew of the
small screen original. With his new partner Peb Streebek (Tom
Hanks), Friday is appointed to investigate the goings-on of a cult
run by a porn magazine king (Dabney Coleman) and a television
evangelist (Christopher Plummer). Along the way the duo make the
acquaintance of the virginal Connie Swail (Alexandra Paul), and
earn the enmity of Friday's uncle's former partner (Harry Morgan) -
who is now their supervising officer!
In a series of funny, tender, and touching dialogues, former
Saturday Night Live writer Zweibel recalls his
buddy-and-almost-lover friendship with SNL actress Gilda Radner,
who died of ovarian cancer. Zweibel claims he "merely scribbled the
dialogues playing in my head," and, indeed, these recreated
conversations have a neurotic, sarcastic, and vulnerable air of
aunthenticity. The actress and writer become fast friends on the
SNL set and segue into personal revelation.

Philip Horkman is a happy man, the owner of a pet store called The
Wine Shop, and on Sundays a referee for a local kids' soccer
league. Jeffrey Peckerman is the proud and loving father of a star
athlete in the girls' ten-and-under soccer league, and he's not
exactly happy with the ref.
The two of them are about to collide in a swiftly escalating
series of events that will send them running for their lives,
pursued by the police, soldiers, subversives, bears,
revolutionaries, pirates, and a black ops team that "does not"
exist. Where all that takes them you can't even begin to guess, but
the literary journey there is a masterpiece of inspiration, chaos,
and unadulterated, well, lunacy. And they might even learn a lesson
or two along the way.
