The Chalky White Substance
Placed on the background of a world after a thermonuclear war, two men-Luke and Mark-develop a love affair based on affection and protection. As the chalky white fallout rains down on them, justice makes for a sometimes touching sometimes violent exchange between this pair of drifters. Starring Phillips Adebimpe and Jason Lasky.

Something Unspoken
Cordelia and her shy secretary, Grace have a bond that goes beyond employee and boss. After living together as single women in the late 1950’s for 15 years, their relationship has come to a climax and requires definition before one of them explodes. In this monologue, Grace opens like a blooming rose to tell her side of the story. Starring Vivienne Wei.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Maggie the Cat is the fiery wife of Brick who cannot fulfill his manly duties so that she can bear a child before it is too late. His questionable “bro-mance” with his high school buddy Skipper is thrown around like a football in the huge mansion where Big Daddy is spending his last birthday. Starring Barbra Andrilic.
