Since life enjoys shitting on me so much

I got fired from where I was working and now must find something to fill the void while I job hunt.

So I'm planning on directing a play in the near-to-immediate future and I'm trying to decide on what show I want to do. Basically, I'm hoping someone's seen some of the shows I'm going to list (I'll still post a synopsis in case you haven't) and will be able to give me some insight as to whether it's good or not.

Shows I'm considering:

Goethe's "Faustus": A story about a doctor named Faustus who makes a deal with the devil to be young again and woo a young girl, who ends up finding out about the deal. (This one I've read the abridged version back in my German class and it's got a great story)

Steve Yockey's "Cartoon": A social commentary with cartoon characters and toys going crazy and killing each other while a character known as the Dictator tries to get her hammer back so they can all go back to living their mundane lives.

Charles Busch's "Die! Mommy! Die!": An out of work TV star murders her husband with the aid of a poisoned suppository. Her daughter comes to find out and convincersher brother to avenge their father's death by killing their mother and end up slipping their mother some LSD in her after-dinner coffee to get her to admit to her crime.

Jennifer Haley's "Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom": A dark comedy where parents find their kids addicted to an online horror game where they have to smash through zombies to escape the neighborhood, but slowly the line between reality and fiction begins to blur and soon both parents and players realize that fear has a life of its own.

Buddy Thomas and Kenneth Elliott's "Devil Boys from Beyond": Summer of 1957 is a scorcher and something strange is going on in the swamps of Lizard Lick, Florida. With rumors of missing people and giant spaceships running rampant, star NYC reporter Mattie Van Buren races down in search of her next Pulitzer, her booze-hound ex-husband, Gregory Graham in tow, and her arch-enemy, Lucinda Marsh hot on her heels to scoop her story. Flying Saucers! Backstabbing Bitches! Muscle hunks and Men in Pumps!

Thomas Bradshaw's "Prophet": A man wakes up one morning and decides he must kill himself. He is angry with himself for not hitting his wife every time she has an independent though (as Abraham and Moses would have done). After she dies and God reveals to him that he is the new Prophet, the man takes a new wife, dresses her in slave chains, and begins to preach his newfound gospel of male domination. An obvious dark comedy.

I'd love to tackle "Evil Dead: The Musical", but I highly doubt it'd go over well here. :X

So those are my selections I've trickled it down to. Thoughts?
