THE PHILADELPHIA by David Ives
Directed by Michele A. Mascari
Cast: Jef Brown, Mark Motz & Kaitrin McCoy
Celebrates and mocks how we cope with negativity and everyday hardship in the City of Brotherly Love. Two guys meet in a diner in New York, but they’re both in very different states of mind. Al is in a Los Angeles state of mind where nothing can faze him and, even if it did, he would just make it a Hollywood movie. Mark finds the whole world is against him. He can’t get a newspaper at the newsstand, aspirin at the drugstore and the diner gives him a cheesesteak when he wants a burger. He is trapped in a Philadelphia state of mind. It could be worse. You could be stuck in a Cleveland. It’s like death without the advantages.
THE NEXT LEVEL by A. K. Forbes
Directed by Dan Hawkins
Cast: Helen Swartwout, Jim Swartwout & Zac Newman
Trapped in between this world and the next, ghosts Lillian and Jay try to communicate with their grieving son Alex. Their efforts have little effect until Jay interferes with a video game and Lillian delivers a heart-felt note, allowing the whole family—Alex, Lillian and Jay—to move on.
BREAKING AND ENTERING by A. K. Forbes
Directed by John Wesseling
Cast: Jordon Schneider, Kaitrin McCoy and Nick Young
A married couple’s attempt to spice up their love life with a role-playing game is inadvertently interrupted by an inexperienced burglar.

BAD CONNECTION by A. K. Forbes
Directed by Denise Schnieders
Cast: Dan Maloney & Meagan Blasch
Lydia and Tim, sales associates attending an out-of-town conference, wake up in the same bed with no memory of the evening before. As they gather their belongings and attempt to gather their pride, they discover that they may have crossed paths in the past.
THE OTHER ROOM by Ariadne Blayde
