Use a sans-serif font. Serif fonts just don't work well on monitors.

Your email should be sam@samhaven.com and NOT sam@comcast.

On the plays page, the padding seems to be off on the white backgrounds - in the descriptions the text runs up to or past the right border. The bottom navigation link likewise runs below the bottom border of its box, but this is only on the one page. Observed in Firefox 2.0.0.7 under Vista.

I glanced at your code to see if I could find a way to correct this, but it seems you hand set EVERY value... down to having all the line wraps as their own paragraphs, with hard coded line heights and widths. This is bad for accessibility because users with limited vision can not enlarge the fonts, and makes edits very difficult, plus increases the file sizes of your pages (causing slow downloads and increasing your bandwidth).

Also, from an SEO and user perspective, you might want to change the filenames of the various pages to something more descriptive - for example changing "page3.html" to "plays.html". Users do sometimes look at the url displayed under a SERP listing to determine relevance before clicking, and by having "plays" in that URL could help your SERP click rate.

I love the colors. I would fix the large area under the gallery at the bottom of the page.. other than that it looks great.
