The other two World Premieres were Splittin' The Raft (previously titled Frederick Douglas Read Huck Finn), direct from being workshopped at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Displaced, written by Cuban American playwright Rogelio Martinez that closed the season.
Also presented was Killer Joe, the smash off-Broadway hit by Tracy Letts, described as "white-trash Gothic with a comic-book spin," and Old Wicked Songs by Jon Marans, the story of a young piano prodigy who rekindles his love for music with the help of a passionate elderly Viennese instructor.
Both the opening and closing productions were presented during MTC's 2004-2005 nu werks Series as staged readings.
