Lucky’s
Directed by Carrie Brown
Nine showgirls avenge their pasts at Lucky's, a 1920's cabaret club where the drinks are strong, the dances are hot, and the murder is plentiful. Everything is going to plan until tragedy strikes and it becomes evident that all is not as it seems.

DOME
Directed by Sam LaFrage
In the year 2384, Earth is a wasteland, poisoned beyond repair by an alien gas cloud known as the Venenotoxin. With most of humanity wiped out, the Tiiawa Corporation rises to preserve the survivors inside a massive dome, dividing them by occupation and keeping everyone under unrelenting surveillance and the endless broadcasts of The Uncle Bear Show—a program designed to educate, pacify, and control the last remnants of mankind. But when a single factory worker witnesses a terrible crime, the fragile illusion of safety begins to crumble—and the survivors are forced to ask: is Dome truly salvation… or just another form of extinction?

The Seagull

By Anton Chekhov
Directed by Grant Kretchik
Unrequited love, artistic failure, and an overwhelming sense of mediocrity – what could be funnier? Chekhov’s The Seagull skewers unfulfilled dreams, restless hearts, and artistic forms, where richly drawn characters collide in ambitious desire, exposing the absurdity and ache of being human.
