Just a peek at what's in store for you when you come to the performances starting March 21!

 A Hole in the Wall by Cohen Ambrose
The young, promising, up-and-coming hit man, Timmy is given instructions for his first job. He concocts a clever plan to make the hit in a cheap hotel room in the suburbs. After running a little late, he arrives only to find the old man already dead – the victim of a heart attack. In a panic, he administers the help of Tommy, an experienced pro who has instructions to turn the hit into a statement and make it a messy one. After firing a single shot in the hotel room, the police arrive and the two find themselves holding a dead man hostage with only one empty nine millimeter between them.
 
Playback by Mark Yates
Honza plans to use a 25-year-old tape to get his old friend to admit that he betrayed him to the secret police all those years ago. But when his friend unexpectedly brings his daughter to the meeting, getting the truth proves both harder and more troubling than he imagined.
 
The Great Indoors by Josh Kaston
A dark apocalyptic comedy that focuses on man vs. nature, man vs. man, and man vs. God. After being attached by a wild fox, a foreign couple on holiday finds refuge in an old woman's cabin in the American wilderness. The situtation really starts to heat up after another local resident joins their safe haven.
