Nicky's Closet

On September 14th, 1987, in the Hamptons, New York, Gabby and Vinnie, the younger siblings of recently deceased pro-baseball player Nicky, meet at his longtime best friend and teammate Brian’s “bachelor pad” to sort through his belongings. With the help of some stiff bourbon, doors are opened, collectibles are questioned, unexpected secrets come to light, and hearts cling to memories of what once was. But does love ever truly die, or does death give birth to the truth? Does the truth allow love to stay alive, or does it dissolve, revealing that it was only the idea of love that mattered? Do we change when the truth comes out, or do others change because of it? Does it really matter? Does it really change anything? Can we just let it go, or can we just hold on to the love?

I'm Fine Mabel

A landline telephone, a secret pie recipe, prima-apple red lipstick, a white dress shirt, a cemetery, a small blue box, a toy kitchenette set, an overzealous Sunday school teacher, a big misunderstanding...lots and lots of sugar and honey...and a huge mess in the kitchen. I'M FINE MABEL is a zany dark comedy set in the deep South in the early 1960s, following three colorful women—red-haired Dottie, black-haired Mabel, and strawberry blonde Little Rhonda—as they navigate a mountain of unexpected, unfair life obstacles, personal losses, and strive in their own creative, unorthodox ways to "fix" the betrayals others have caused in their lives.

Over The F#(%!ng Rainbow, Somewhere

A journey about two broken souls desperately trying to survive their traumatic pasts—pasts so unimaginable to some, yet devastatingly real to others. Those others have names: Bridger and Cat. Set in the late 80s/early 90s, Bridger and Cat unknowingly connect one hot, rainy summer night through a fetish chatroom. What begins as an anonymous escape soon forces them to confront their traumas in front of each other’s eyes, both triggered by the weight of their own personal stories—deep, hidden histories, long kept in forced silence. Their encounter ignites, agitates, and challenges them, pushing them toward their uphill battle for peace, a peace that exists in a place where safety, security, trust, nurturing, and unconditional love can be found, a place where all these elements might meet—perhaps even over the f#(%!ng rainbow, somewhere.
