ALL THE STARS IN THE MIDNIGHT SKY
Directed by Jenn Thompson*+ Wednesday, June 12th at 7PM
Thursday, June 13th at 7PM ALL THE STARS IN THE MIDNIGHT SKY is the story of two very different unplanned pregnancies. Kelsey and Trish have some big questions to answer, and not just the ones about babies. But a lot can happen in nine months, and if you let it, a lot can change. A comic drama about mothers and daughters, and maybe, just maybe, finding happiness where you least expect it.FORTUNE Written by Lally Katz
Directed by Lauren Miller+ Wednesday, June 19th at 7PM
Thursday, June 20th at 7PM In the midst of global economic disaster, Cookie, a pregnant Romani fortune teller desperate for a mark, strikes gold when she checks into an anonymous New Jersey motel. A grieving mother, a pair of jobless stock brokers, and a landless cowboy gamble everything on Cookie's intuition, in the hopes that FORTUNE favors the bold in the home of the brave.
Directed by Scott Alan Evans+ Wednesday, June 26th at 7PM
Thursday, June 27th at 7PM When a fire erupts next door, Susan and her teenage daughter are forced to evacuate their apartment. Randall, Susan's coworker, comes to the rescue, but his pregnant wife Kathy is suspicious. What is Susan really after? Why is her husband so eager to come to her aid? Who really is the DAMSEL in distress? The answers are not what you think in this finely observed psychological drama. *Member, Actors' Equity Association
