So what’s the problem? All show photos by Taylor Sanders. Synopsis In this new romantic comedy, Ethan Siegel is in love and about to ask Alice’s parents for her hand in marriage. But there may be a few problems: Like Alice and Ethan broke up two years ago. Like she’s seeing someone else. And like she’s falling apart from the aftermath of working on a lost election. That doesn’t stop Ethan, and he goes on a comedic journey through modern love in uncertain times. Characters Ethan (Ben Euphrat*): Early 30s. You’ll be kind of in awe of the things that come out of his mouth. Alice (Ella Dershowitz): Early 30s. Ethan’s ex. Thinks fast, but walks too slowly on the sidewalk. Nelson (Davied Morales): Early 30s. Alice’s boyfriend. Likes to be the cool guy. Does not like buffets. Deborah (Luisa Sermol*): Early 60s. Alice’s mother. Doctor. Not great with texts. Ron (Erik Gandolfi): Early 60s. Alice’s father. Lawyer. Not great with alcohol. Jordan (Laura Espino): Defies description. *Member, Actors’ Equity Association About the play & playwright Five years ago, a quirky, random and thoroughly lovable little play called Spacebar: A Broadway Play by Kyle Sugarman had its world premiere here at City Lights.

    SUPERSTORE (spec script) "Grillmaster" Written by Josh Fruhlinger [email protected] 443-739-2157 PREVIOUSLY ON SUPERSTORE Amy and Adam are estranged but Amy is pregnant with Adam’s baby. Dina has agreed to be a surrogate for Glenn and Jerusha but is increasingly disgusted by the physical reality of her pregnancy. Jeff betrayed the rest of the gang in return for getting his job back as a Cloud 9 exec. Amy and Jonah had sex, which was accidentally broadcast to all other Cloud 9 stores worldwide. 2. COLD OPEN INT. - ELECTRONICS DEPT. - DAY AMY, GLENN, DINA (heavily pregnant), and MARCUS are standing in front of the BIG-SCREEN TVs, which are all turned off. AMY Can’t we just wait one more day to turn them back on? MARCUS Oh, I get it. Afraid they’ll rebroadcast your and Jonah’s little home movie, and you’ll get worked up and want to re-enact it. I’ve been there. AMY makes a disgusted noise. She spots JONAH across the store and tries to make eye contact, but he’s looking over his shoulder at something we can’t see and walking rapidly away. MARCUS (CONT’D) (shouting to Jonah) Looking good, big guy! DINA Corporate says we have to leave the TVs on. Otherwise customers think we’re just selling TV-shaped pieces of plastic, like we did before we settled the lawsuit in 2014. GLENN And they’ve gone through the trouble of creating a decency filter to install on all the televisions. If not for you and Jonah, that wouldn’t have even been invented!

  • Wal-Mart Superstore PROJECT SUMMARY | GC31 GP3®
    PROJECT SUMMARY | GC31 Rammed Aggregate Pier® System GP3® Wal-Mart Superstore Desloge, Missouri The Geopier GP3® system provided stabilization to the existing subgrade soils in place, prior to the placement of grade raise fill, to control settlements due to the weight of the new fill Description: A new high bay one-story Wal-Mart Super Center with maximum column loads of approximately 150 kips and wall loads of up to four kips per lineal foot. Up to 20 feet of new fill was required to achieve design grade. Subsurface Conditions: The geotechnical investigation revealed a soil profile consisting of soft lean and fat clays underlain by an erratic bedrock surface varying in depth from 3 to more than 30 feet. Geopier Solution: Originally, the design team considered overexcavation of a portion of the soft clay and replacement with compacted structural fill or placement of the fill and surcharging to accelerate settlement of the underlying soft clay soil. The Geopier GP3® system was selected as a value engineering alternative. Geopier Rammed Aggregate Pier® (RAP) elements stabilized the existing subgrade soils in place, prior to the placement of grade raise fill, to control settlements due to the weight of the new fill. A total of 1,493 Geopier® elements were installed in a grid pattern prior to the placement of the new fill.
