Grizzled Gulf War veteran turned truck driver Jack Hammers reluctantly enlists the aid of a streetwise prostitute Chrystalline to rescue his son from Jack's sleazy pimp brother who's also a security guard. After reluctantly stopping at the Get Em N Go. Eventually he finds himself teamed up with Chrystalline to battle intergalactic evil aliens and spoil their plan to overtake earth....A trio of reptilian aliens have crash-landed on Earth just outside of the Get Em N Go truck stop. After observing the behavior of lot lizards in their natural habitat, the aliens morph into prostitutes in order to extract semen from truckers to refuel their spaceship and return to their home planet Zenotho. The only drawback to their plan is that after extracting the semen, the truckers literally shrivel up and die. When the aliens underestimate the grit and toughness of Jack and Chrystalline, they call for a special force alien team from their home planet to engage in an all-out war with the earthlings....As if everything going down at the Get Em N Go wasn't enough, a ragtag duo of oversexed and violence-prone men in black operatives tracking the same alien crash landing to the very same truck stop. As soon as they arrive, things go from bad to way, way worse.
It's the first day of Eddie's high school career, and he's ready. At least he thinks he is. The older and more serious of the two boys in the family, Eddie has plans to make his time at high school memorable, and the most beneficial for him, you know, for getting into college. He is thinking about sports and clubs, and even joining the student government. As one of the few people of color at the school - heck, in the whole town - Eddie is more aware than most 14-year olds. So, in addition to figuring out his identity as a human, he also wants to be a good role model for his younger, less-aware, and sillier brother, James.But even with his heightened adolescent awareness, there is no way Eddie can prepare himself for what the next four years have in store for him, and how it affects all of the relationships he has: those with his family, his friends and classmates, and even the town.This play has a comprehensive glossary which will be useful for the reader and for teachers using it with their students. Free, downloadable materials to support the text are available on the author's website.

Religionen wollen Gutes bewirken und entwickeln Regeln, wie man sich richtig verhält. Da unser großes Gehirn ständig "Geistiges" hervorbringt, haben die meisten Menschen Bilder für die Welt als Ganzes.Doch über Glaubenssätze zu streiten, macht aus sachlicher Sicht keinen Sinn. Es führt zu nichts oder besser gesagt zu nichts Gutem. Denn seit es Religionen gibt, gibt es Religionskriege und diese sind blutig und grausam. Den Glaubenskriegen fallen regelmäßig Millionen zum Opfer.Sind Adam und Eva schuld, weil sie den falschen Apfel gegessen haben? Ich weigere mich, über derlei Absurditäten zu diskutieren, analysiere lieber, wie religiöse Gewalt entstanden ist und wie Religion durch Machtausübung vergiftet wird.Wenn wir statt der Katastrophen der Zukunft eine friedliche geeinte Menschheit erleben wollen, brauchen wir ein spirituelles Bewusstsein, dass von allen Menschen nach ethischen Prinzipien neu zu definieren ist, unabhängig davon, was in uralten Schriften steht.
