Magic City by Hilary Bettis An explosive elixir of power, class, and immigration status, shaken hard with love and betrayal, creates a cocktail that threatens to destroy lives in this contemporary adaptation of Strindberg’s Miss Julie.
The Birds of Empathy by Clarence Coo When things get complicated with humans (and especially, his ex-boyfriend), Nathan, a socially awkward man, turns to Audubon’s Birds of America for insight.
Damascus by Bennett Fisher A high-stakes, road-rage thriller that delves full-force into the misguided politics of terrorism.
The Fatales by Lauren Gunderson An epic feminist pop crusade for a knowing justice, via musical defiance. It's feisty, ridiculous, girly, and loud.
Endangered Species by Nilan Johnson An afro-surrealist futuristic legend in which blackness doesn’t exist.
We Swim, We Talk, We Go To War by Mona Mansour While trying to navigate the currents of the Pacific, an Arab-American woman and her nephew dip into the treacherous waters of identity, family and allegiance.
