April 16: HELLO FAILURE by Kristen Kosmas
directed by Abigail Marateck
Kristen Kosmas’ lyrical and unpredictably comic story of seven submariner’s wives negotiating the peculiar drama of absence. Throw in one counterfeit civil war ghost, one lusty renegade hairdresser and a poignant potted plant all making it through the day, barely, in this oddly affecting and delightfully disorienting examination of modern alienation.
Starring: Kelly Brady, John Wallace Combs, Thomas Craig Elliott, Chris Goodson, Jamey Hood, Suzanne Jamieson, Jen Kays, Christina Mastin, Johanna McKay & Julie Millett.
April 23: WHAT ONCE WE FELT by Ann Marie Healy
directed by Stefan Novinski
In a city by the river, society divides along the lines of imperfect DNA, trashy bestsellers and fertility porn. Macy O. Blonsky, author of the last print published novel in the Western World, must decide how far she will go to bring her creation out into the world. WHAT ONCE WE FELT: A terrifying and hilarious romp through the annals of genocide, suicide, infanticide, and atrociously bad manners.
Starring: Rebecca Avery, Camille Brown, Heidi Darchuk, Melanie Elliott, Thomas Fiscella, Joe Tyler Gold, Kate Mayfield & Thia Stephan
April 30: THE GOOD BOOK by Moby Pomerance, directed by John Langs
