They Promised Her the Moon
Laurel Ollstein
The first American woman to test for space flight, Jerrie Cobb, steps into an isolation tank for a record-breaking nine hours as her memories unfold before her, from learning to fly a plane as a child in Oklahoma to testifying in Congressional hearings about the under-the-radar all-female Mercury 13 space program. They Promised Her the Moon is a compelling drama about the challenges of sisterhood and fighting for the greater good, based on a true story.

Emily of New Moon
Cynthia Mercati
Emily Starr is an imaginative young girl who has lived an isolated life with her father at The Hollows in the country. She has The Sight, as she calls it, which allows her to see into the past and the future. After her father dies, she is sent to live at New Moon Farm with her stern Aunt Elizabeth Murray, her kind but timid Aunt Laura, and her cousin Jimmy, a gentle man who people persist in saying is “off.” Emily promises her father she will hang on hard to herself and clashes with Aunt Elizabeth who “is determined to make her like every other child in Blair Water.” But when Emily falls gravely ill, Elizabeth realizes how much she loves her, and Emily comes to understand she can be Emily of The Hollows and Emily of New Moon Farm—and a hundred other places as well.

Empowered: How One Girl Scout Nearly Destroyed the World's Economy
Don Zolidis
Amaryllis is determined to win her Girl Scout troop's cookie-selling contest, but she'll need more than charm to win first prize (a unicorn!) and avoid last place (which means getting kicked out of the troop!). So when sales droop, she naturally turns to the financial sector for advice. Soon she's faking a terminal illness, franchising her methods, and contracting with a payday lender to offer 30-year loans for cookies. A hysterical homage to Glengarry Glen Ross and send-up of the wild excesses of the financial crisis.

The Things She Held
Martha Epstein
The Things She Held follows a girl as she delivers an acceptance speech to one person, or a few people, or an empty space, or a collection of memories. It’s a play about how we hold onto the things we love. Or maybe it’s about how we let them go. Do they go? Can anything really last forever? Isn’t it all so crazy?
