A guy, a cat, a bird, and a turtle

[FS]

I was kind of making a temporary compromise with "plays." Felt like a crappy word to use, but I couldn't come up with a suitable replacement that describes a theatre piece. I checked online for some synonyms, but nothing of the same broad description seemed to come up. "Drama" doesn't really seem to fit the bill either. I'll have to think it over some more. Suggestions would be welcome.

A dash might indeed be a better choice. It's probably something I'd change sooner or later after reading it over a couple of times.
