#musiciansaresexierthannormalpeople
Written by Annabel Wilson and Directed by Michael Glover
Bastion just got offered his dream job, but he knows that his friend Phoebe really deserves it.

Tree Bones
Written by Peta Tait and Directed by Chris Manley
Sarah is watching her daughter Laurel die of cancer in this play about the natural environment. Sarah remembers Laurel as a child in 1940, a young woman in 1950s, and a fighter in 1964. 

The Getaway
Written by Paul Liedvogel and Directed by Timothy Williams
In the year 2004, William Malone is on the verge of losing his mind. As reality recedes, his past comes flooding back. In an attempt to save a suppressed memory, he records himself telling the story of a haunting event. 41 years ago, when William was an advisor at a summer camp, a 14-year-old boy got lost, never to be found again. Will’s manifesto is full of lies, dead ends, artificial memories, and apologies for something he can’t quite put his finger on.
