The Wasp

By Morgan Lloyd Malcolm

Directed by CJ Lewis

 

Heather and Carla haven't seen each other since school. Their lives have taken very different paths. And yet, here they are in a café having tea and making awkward conversation. That is until Heather presents Carla with a bag containing a significant amount of cash and an unexpected proposition.

The End of the Rainbow

Written and Directed by Joshua Goldberg

Produced by Upside Arts

 

Chroma County is a happy, busy, and colorful place full of happy, busy, and colorful people. Or at least it was... until local leprechaun Devlin O'Doherty's pot of gold was stolen, and the rainbow along with it! Now it's a sad, gloomy, grey place with sad, gloomy, and grey people. What's a leprechaun to do?
