(excerpt) Synopsis: When twenty-one y/o Bennet is admitted to a psych ward they have his name wrong as Dale Bennet, not Bennet Caffee and he takes it as a sign. From now on he’s just Bennet and he’s come to enlighten the world. Bio: Bennet Caffee began doing solo performance 13 years ago under David Ford’s direction at the Marsh Theater. After years of refusing treatment for bipolar disorder he had committed to staying on medication, but he missed his exhilarating highs. Performing was a way of celebrating the “fun part” of bipolar disorder he left behind. As he delved deeper, he included darker side of his condition, eventually leading to his first full-length show, “My First Miracle - Adventures in Bipolar Disorder” which he performed to critical acclaim at fringe festivals across the US and Canada. Currently he has performed his latest show “Orange you glad to be in Miami?” at the Nanaimo, Oregon, Rogue, San Diego, Orlando,Tampa and Edmonton fringe festivals. Audience members often remark Caffee’s shows have given them insight into bipolar disorder, while persons in the bipolar community have complemented his shows for their humorous and accurate portrayal.

How does a robbery at a Pittsburgh car dealership tie into a stock sale in Belgium, leading to the arrest of a pharmacist from Los Angeles? And what do you do when the pharmacist is your long-departed dad? In this case, you hang out your shingle as an amateur, low-budget gumshoe and start separating hard fact from paternal myth. Bio: Lou Kipilman gets by in San Francisco. He's previously performed at Monday Night Marsh and Solo Sundays. This piece was developed in director David Ford's class at The Marsh, with the intention of making it a full-length show.
