Powder tells the story of a young boy and his father's adventures on a ski trip. The parents are separated or divorced; the father has promised to have the boy back to his mother in time for Christmas Eve dinner. However, the dad (being one who lives "in the moment") decides to get in a few last runs, which causes them to become stuck in a snowstorm. The father forsakes all he has - his Austin Healey and driving skills - in order to keep his promise to the boy's mother. Throughout the story, the boy gradually learns to live in the moment, entering the world his father comfortably lives in.

The play's title is "Equivocation" written by Bill Cain. Currently in production (World Premere) at the Ashland Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Equivocation is the recipient of The Edgerton Foundation 2008 New American Plays Award.The play tells the story of William Shagspeare (Bill Cain's favorite spelling of the name) struggle to write a play about the Gun Powder Plot for King James. In conversations with various individuals "involved" in the plot, Shagspeare comes to realize that what the government wants is a play that will be a propaganda play to justify the persecution of the Roman Catholic Church, its Priests and its members.Shagspeare's solution is to use Father Henry Garnet's practice of Equivocation to tell the story and keep from offending the King and Sir Robert Cecil, a ruthless member of the King's Council.Shagspeare writes MacBeth, which pleases the King and keeps Sir Robert Cecil from destroying William Shagspeare.
