A farce-comedy about the demise of the Duncan family, and, by extension, the species. Dysfunction takes on new meaning with the Duncan Family. We laugh throughout, as we watch the family disintegrate, and finally realize the seeds of this dysfunction lie within us all.

"…PTERODACTYLS struck me as the flip-side of The Skin of Our Teeth Thornton Wilder's antic celebration of mankind's ability to muddle through." —NY Times.

"There are times—not all that many, admittedly—when a critic wishes he had never used the word 'brilliant' before, so he could offer it fresh minded and glittering to something new. And different…" —NY Post.

"Clever is the word for PTERODACTYLS…clever, sharp, witty—it's a play that takes aim at the main-streamed, moneyed, conventional American family and buries it under one satiric jibe after another." —TheaterWeek.

Cyclodrama is proud to announce the premiere of Alan Saunders' one man musical.

A KISS TO THE DANCE FLOOR tells the story of Tim, fresh out of the Navy and freshly “out” to his high school best friend Jerry, who returns home without a path or goal for his life. Jerry immediately takes him to a dance club and introduces him to the world of gay night life. Eager to fit in, socially-anxious Tim follows Jerry’s advice unsuccessfully when dealing with drinking, flirting and the art of the "one night stand." When an opportunity to work for the dance club becomes available, Tim jumps in with both feet, rising to the position of DJ, until a rookie mistake gets him fired. Believing he doesn’t belong, Tim, runs away to forge a "safe" life, like his parents – “with a home and a white picket fence.”
