To Burn a Witch
By: James L. Bray

Traces of Memory
By: Ann Wuehler

The Unwanted

“Two lovers that meet up for a night are sassed into possibly rethinking their choice.”

The Asshole Murder Case
By: Stuart Hample
Directed By: Nick Hawach
“Three college students must write and perform a dramatic scene for a theatre class – but what in the world is there to write about that a modern audience can connect with? Assholes. Follow along in this Dadaist exploration of power and youthful rebellion against those who wield it.”

The Worker

Directed By: Zac O’Keefe
“A man comes home to find his wife is caring for a baby doll that she claims is their child.”

The Tango
