THE OPENING:  5 men, 2 women (with extras).  All his life, Billy was sure about his sexuality.  Now, he discovers the he is not the person he thought he was and must inform his parents and friends.

ANTIQUES:  2 men (1 mid 40’s, 1 mid 60’s), 1 woman (mid 40’s).  Ethan and Colleen, childhood sweethearts, are on vacation in Boston when they come across an antiuqes store.  More a curiosity and memorabilia store than antiques.   They start to notice that the items look very familiar… from their own childhood?  Is it possible? Past and present unite at the end in a nostalgic and eerie way.

THE PEOPLES PRADA: 1 woman (mid 50’s) 1 man (late 20’s).  A Beverly Hills widow decides it is time for the reluctant stepson to move out.

LEMONADE WITH A TWIST: 1 man (30’s) 1 woman (60’s).  An elderly woman calls the automobile club to get her car started.  A man shows up, and the elderly woman invites him in for some lemonade.  It soon comes out that she dosen’t own a car and just calls different companies to get someone over for companionship.    Their conversation turns to people in the neghiborhood disapering, but who is the suspect?
