This is a story about vice, depravity, and how far some people will go to protect themselves — from themselves.”

In the summer of 1863, a week after the Battle of Gettysburg, Union officials in Nashville raid the city’s brothels, force hundreds of sex workers onto the steamship IDAHOE, and banish them to Louisville.  That’s all just history so far. But as a short river journey turns into a hellish trip to nowhere, the women go to war with old rivals, a hostile crew, and themselves.

Director: Ivey Lowe

Cast: TBA.

“The cupboards are empty, the oven is fake, the doctors are having a dinner party – and years later, one of them is writing a book. A comedy of manners about managing pain and reconstructing the past.”

Director: Mackenna Goodrich

Cast: TBD

“Just a few miles south of Boston is the Judge Rotenberg Center, where “emotionally disturbed” students of this residential school receive electric shocks to their bodies as a form of aversion therapy in an effort to train them to “act normal.” About 160 miles west from there, Janny and Cookie, life-long best friends and next door neighbors, attempt to reconcile their chaotic relationships with their adult daughters once and for all one stormy New England night. Part emotional road map, part theatrical time capsule, and part indictment of medically sanctioned torture, “Ars Moriendi” (the art of dying), lovingly bears witness to the mothers “who know best” and their bad-apple daughters who all go to extreme lengths to simply survive America–and each other–on their own terms.”
