​Tessa, a veterinarian who now runs a dog rescue in Northern CA, is outspoken, has an over inflated sense of justice, and probably drinks too much. Tessa is desperate to find a new building for her no kill shelter, being forced out by an incoming Starbucks. She is at the mercy of the disapproving city council, is confronted with her high school sweetheart moving back home, and all the while is mentoring teenage volunteer and budding vet Molly Mattie, who has a penchant for pop culture, and thinks Tessa is the greatest thing since sliced bread. At the end of her rope, Tessa is left with approaching her estranged father for financial assistance to keep the rescue open to save the dogs, and ultimately, herself.

​Mara has just taken over her very-recently-deceased dad's position at a vintage car restoration shop in Berkeley, CA, run by his best friend of 30 years. She finds herself in a love triangle with a younger man, and an old flame who returns to offer her everything she thought she ever wanted. Based on the modern day love poetry of folks like Alice Walker, Noel Coward, and James Tipton. ​

"From the moment she steps on the stage, Jonte lives up to her self-titled billing as “teller of stories” — she is an accomplished story-teller who personally connected with each audience member, inviting us into her world and her very personal experience. Despite her brutal honesty and raw emotion, Jonte expertly walked the line of keeping her story personal without making us feel like intruders. She commanded her emotions flawlessly, making for a very compelling narrative."
-Julie Janson, DC Metro

BREAKING THE SHAKESPEARE CODE
by John Minigan
MAY 23-JUNE 2, 2019


​"The promotional materials assure the audience that “this is not a romance” but by the end I left entirely seduced. A standing ovation for all involved."
-Kenneth Laboy, Theater That Matters

 "Jonte and Weinert have an incredible chemistry onstage, the likes of which is rare. The intensity they bring to every emotional push-and-pull, from droll banter to tender touches to angry outbursts, is near-perfectly matched in every scene."
-Gillian Russo, Plays To See
Eighteen-year-old Anna approaches Curt, a callous young acting instructor at the women’s college she attends, to ask him to coach her for an upcoming audition. Though initially dismissive, he agrees to work with her only when she survives his challenges to her work on Julius Caesar’s Portia. 
Their lives converge personally and professionally over the next sixteen years as they try to find the right moment and opportunity to finally reveal their true feelings for one another.  ​
