The Shows
Rotten Apple
At the grocery store, James tries to give a heart wrenching monologue about his troubles. But he finds he has to compete for the spotlight with a quest for love, a dream for the future, and a moment of reflection.
Written By: George Vanderlaan
Where There’s A Will
Invites audiences into a family living room in the wake of loss. As siblings gather after their parents’ passing, conversations about inheritance unravel into buried tensions, cultural expectations, and long-standing rivalries. Blending sharp humor with emotional honesty, this intimate dramedy explores the weight of sibling history and unspoken family trauma in a home where love and conflict have always lived side by side.
Written By: Faizan Bokhari
No Man’s Below
Stuck in a foxhole, two soldiers are forced to confront the war they find themselves in, as their loyalties are pitted against their humanity.
Written By: Nader El-Rayes
Freddy’s Diner
Dan and Joey just bought a diner sight unseen in a city they’ve never been to. Dan has bet everything on their success, and all he wants is a good opening day. To his horror and Joey’s delight, they’ll open their doors to robbers, journalists, superheroes, kleptomaniacs, and a dinosaur. Freddy’s Diner is a whip-fast comedy in real time about just how much fun one uptight businessman can take.
Written by: Jaiden Douglas, Avery Rosenbluth, Seannie Cahil-Swenson

After awakening under unexpected circumstances, five ordinary fruits grapple with personal history in what may be their final moments.
