ISABEL
written by alum Ruth Tang (MFA '20)
directed by I-Chen Wang
It's the staircase in the woods again. You know the one. Mysterious, abandoned, the one everyone says you shouldn't climb. Well—maybe if you did, everything would be different. Maybe you would become something else entirely. Something you've always feared you secretly already were.
Featuring: Jacob Presson, Timmy Ong, Zoe Liu
BLOOD ON THESE HANDS
written by Luis Herrera
directed by Colin Wilson
A tale from the American Frontier told through the lens of the Latinx experience during these times. Through flashbacks and recollections we watch a journey of vengeance, betrayal, family, and redemption… “no matter what, one way er another blood is comin, and we’re gonna wash our hands with it…”
Featuring: Ana Grethel Solis, Kimberly Gómez, Ariel Diaz-Beato
THE LAST AISLE
written by Rebecca Ford
directed by Jane Skapek
After a catastrophic event leaves the world as we know it unrecognizable, a few employees of Bargain Town super-center become trapped inside the store. As the weeks and months drag on, they struggle to get along, trust each other, and survive.
Featuring: Booker Vance, Emma Rathe, Anne-Sophie de Villeroy
WORLDS MELT
written by Preston Crowder
directed by Kari Lebby
In this tale of betrayal and redemption, the worlds of four people collide, forcing them to re-evaluate the true value of happiness.
