Sublimation by Jacqueline Scaletta
On the outer reaches of the universe, past the observable border,
Lies heaven,
And you will never get there.
A performance about doom, the afterlife, and phase transitions.
Directed and Associate Produced by Coral Cohen

Awake by Huxley Rain Garrett
Insecure in her own Faith as a born-again Christian with a colorful past, Nancie is desperate to prove just how pious she is. And she has some questions for you. Do you know that if you aren’t a believer and you step on a scorpion, you’ll suffer mercilessly for 5 months unable to rid yourself of the pain as you wish for a death that seems to never come? If you’re a true believer like Nancie, you’ll step on the Scorpion. And you’ll step on it NOW! You’ll stop at nothing to prove your love for Christ. You are closer to Jesus than a lover.
Director: KJ Stewart
Technical Director: Beau Valentine LaBranch
