Twelve-year-old Ashleigh rules the Lady Jean Ladies, South Florida’s most exclusive horse club.

Diary of Lights: New York About 1955
By Adrienne Kennedy
Dir. Seph Mozes*
A series of scenes which depict a group of friends during one evening in New York City, in the mid-50s.

By Kevin Blair*
Dir. AJ Schwartz*
A man awakes from a nap in a car shop, waiting for his easy fix of two flat tires so he can be on his way. One fix leads to another, and another, and a never ending nightmare of responsibilities. Who knew that a complimentary drink could lead to drowning? A new absurd play about guilt, death, rats, growing up, and paying your damn bills!

Feat. Collin Quinn Rice*
Dir. Lucky Stiff
When Tom travels to the country for his lover’s funeral, he is seduced into a family’s savage game of desire, secrets, and fantasy. Unable to reveal his true relationship with the deceased, Tom is caught between comforting his lover’s distraught mother and appeasing his violent brother. In their grief and frustration, Tom discovers an elaborately woven fantasy life created to cope with the darkness of their family history. As he is drawn deeper into their dysfunctional torment, the lines between truth and fiction become indistinguishable and lust and brutality merge.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle
By Shirley Jackson
Adapted by Paul Edwards
Dir. Nate Brimner Smith*
Scandal forced the Blackwood sisters and their invalid uncle into seclusion from their rural New England community. The three remain happily isolated from the outside world until the unexpected arrival of an estranged relative, which forces them into a confrontation with everyone and everything they had sought to avoid in the first place. We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a compelling exploration of provincialism, the dark side of family ties, and the supernatural.
