"The Tumbleweed Zephyr" by Maggie Lee
Thursday, November 10 at 7:30pm
Sunday, November 13 at 1pm
Two brothers, Atticus and Kai, set off from New Providence for the Western Territories on the transcontinental train, the Tumbleweed Zephyr. But a simple journey by rail soon leads to adventure, romance, and long-lost echoes from the past, like a lonely train whistle through the deep desert sky. All aboard for a sci-fi Old West yarn with shiny brass steampunk trim!
Directed by Zanne Gerrard.
Featuring Brian Beckley, Henry Drew, Kenna Kettrick, Stephanie Kim, Agastya Kohli, Owen Yen, Moses Yim, and Kelsey Yuhara.

"The Best Time You'll Never Talk About" by Daniel Arreola
Friday, November 11 at 7:30pm
Sunday, November 13 at 5:30pm
What started as an innocent encounter at a local bar, ends in chess match of words, torture, lies, secrets, understanding, trust, self-awareness, boundaries, a video camera, personal passions, and bacon. This two-character piece is inspired by Terrence McNally's SWEET EROS produced in 1968.
Directed by Richard Sloniker.
Featuring TBA.

"Making Short Work: Three One Acts" by May Nguyen
Saturday, November 12 at 7:30pm
Sunday, November 13 at 3:30pm
Asked to fulfill their father's last wish, Vietnamese American siblings Thuy and Long find they hold the life of a man in their hands. "Taken to Task" follows Thuy and Long as they bridge the gaps between loyalty to their father, respect for the history of their people, and doing what they feel is right.
The first human expedition to the nearest habitable planet, affectionately called Grandma's House, is underway. "Unpacking in Space (Parts 1 & 2)" is a serial story of the three-person crew of the Kestral as they navigate the confines of their shuttle and the vastness of space on a journey of a lifetime.
Directed by Agastya Kohli.
Featuring Maggie Lee, Serin Ngai, Moses Yim, and Kelsey Yuhara.

"Double Happiness" by Zheng Wang
Sunday, November 13 at 7:30pm
Monday, November 14 at 7:30pm
As Chinese American siblings Mary and Joey head to their father's house for the traditional Chinese New Year gathering, they both carry heavy burdens on their mind. Mary is recently divorced and has not told Dad. Thankfully, her ex-husband Kevin is willing to go with her and put on a front. Joey, leaving his boyfriend Stuart at home, dreads the inevitable questions from dad about his personal life. More importantly, this is the first Chinese New Year since their mother passed away, and Dad appears to have a hard time accepting that she is gone. Can Mary, Joey and Dad find happiness again, both on their own and as a family?
Directed by Maria Batayola.
Featuring Leilani Berinobis, Alex Crawford, Dave Holden, Richmond Law, Henry Vu, Grace Xie, Owen Yen.
