12 ANGRY MEN
Directed by Mike Horberg
Written by Reginald Rose
Inside a sweltering jury room, twelve ordinary men must decide the fate of a young defendant accused of murder. What appears to be an open-and-shut case quickly transforms into a gripping battle of reason, prejudice, morality, and justice when one juror dares to question the evidence. As emotions rise and long-held biases are challenged, every vote carries extraordinary weight in one of the greatest courtroom dramas ever written.
“Justice begins when one voice dares to stand alone.”
THE SUGAR BEAN SISTERS
Directed by Carol Eberhard
Written by Nathan Sanders
In this delightfully quirky Southern Gothic comedy, the eccentric Nettle sisters are determined to escape spinsterhood—Willie Mae dreams of finding a husband, while Faye anxiously awaits the return of the mysterious “space people” she encountered years ago. As strange visitors, long-buried secrets, and a touch of murder collide in the swamps of Sugar Bean, Florida, the sisters embark on a wildly unpredictable adventure filled with romance, mystery, and out-of-this-world surprises.
“Love. Lies. Murder. Aliens. Welcome to Sugar Bean.”
MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN
Directed by Patti Butler
Written by Christopher O’Neal
Based on the novel by Mary Shelley
Christopher O’Neal’s faithful adaptation breathes new life into one of literature’s greatest masterpieces. Driven by an obsession to conquer death, Victor Frankenstein creates life—but what he brings into the world is a lonely, intelligent Monster longing for compassion, acceptance, and love. Rejected simply because he is different, the Monster’s desperate search for human connection leads to heartbreaking consequences for everyone he encounters. Suspenseful, emotional, and deeply thought-provoking, this haunting drama explores the responsibilities of creation, the dangers of unchecked ambition, and the timeless question of what truly makes us human.
“What makes us human… and what creates a monster?”
