People Should Talk About What's Real

Full Length, 120 minutes

Irreverent livestream comedian Natalie and her husband Josh struggle to conceive, while across the City historian Katherine and her husband Rathanak “Ryan” debate whether or not to adopt, all against the background of the isolating global pandemic. They don't realize that they are connected by a history deeper than it appears on the surface through the figure of Patty, an aged abortion activist living on a Wisconsin ranch, until their fates come together in a fertility clinic waiting room.

The Grape Nerds Reunion

Full-Length, 120 minutes

How can we ever know what anyone else is going through?" Ten years after high school, six former classmates remember–or don’t– the impact they’ve had on each other’s lives. Like any bad high school reunion, there’s moonshine, an acoustic guitar solo, and–of course—crying in the bathroom (“Was our high school secretly a soap opera?”). After all, when it comes to high school, why look back?

The Little Sister

One Act, 15-Minute

After an illegal abortion goes horribly wrong, the two women who lost the most — a soul sister, and a biological sister — must grapple with the aftermath. Does one become an activist by choice, by circumstance, or by the simple fact of realizing you live in a body that is politicized? This short play examines these questions in the context of sisterhood.

What risks do we take to feel normal and loved in the most abnormal of circumstances? At three points during the spring 2020 lockdown, two neighbors connect deeply on the fire escape, a place separate from their "real world" lives in a time when the "real world" no longer exists. What happens on the fire escape doesn't always stay on the fire escape, and in "the real world", Amy is in a lackluster marriage. Her time with Ricky helps her determine what she wants her life to look like, once lockdown is over.
