August and Violet, two cosmically drawn, generally dissatisfied high school seniors, are sucked into a memory wasteland containing neglected moments from their pasts. They are forced to confront their histories in order to come to terms with who they have become. They grapple with the concept of trust as they relive past harms ranging from religious condemnation to volatile family dynamic. The ultimatum: reconcile with their pasts, or never reenter the physical world. 60 minutes.

Some things in life are just too absurd to be taken seriously. Like high school, for example. It’s a delicate juggling of Calculus homework, master prank heists, lightsaber battles, and a wish and a prayer that the FAFSA comes out in your favour. Digital Middleground presents a satirical peek at one week in the life of five high school students; homework, heist, and lightsabers included. 60 minutes.

Art Academy Auditorium
Over-the-Rhine

Long ago, the Dream Keeper (DK) was assigned the task of watching and recording the dreams of people in a certain region. For the first time ever, she is being put in front of a live audience. DK, over-excited, but underprepared narrates while presenting her favorite group of people’s dreams and subsequent real-life sequences. It’ll be a thought-provoking night supplemented with laughter, music, and dreams—one of the most fascinating complications of the human mind. 65 minutes.
