Horse Girls - Directed by Hannah Whittington

Synopsis

Twelve-year-old Ashleigh rules the Lady Jean Ladies, South Florida’s most exclusive horse club. News that her family’s stables are being sold and their horses killed for meat throws the Ladies into crisis in this dark comedy of middle school deception and lies. "Horse Girls" is a play about pre-teens: their obsessions, their insecurities and their desperate need to find a place in the world.

The Dear Departed - Directed by Camilla McGill

Synopsis

A clever dramatization of a famous Guy de Maupassant story about a man who pretended he was dead in order to see what his family thought about him.
