pLAGUE dOCTOR
It’s an ordinary night in for roommates Cosmo, Casey, Roz, and Filomena. They bicker over chores, surf Netflix, and fend off the medieval Plague Doctor who haunts the corners of their apartment. But tonight, they’ve found a new way to relieve the monotony: a storytelling contest with perilous stakes. As they spin their tales, genres weave together and fictional worlds spring to life—and the good Doctor wants in.
This piece is a very, almost irresponsibly loose retelling of The Decameron, a 14th Century series of novellas about a bunch of twenty-somethings swapping stories while quarantined in the Italian countryside. They, too, are waiting out a plague. In this version, of course, the stories are updated. The characters are less concerned with the foibles of the clergy than they are with their own stagnant careers and social lives and the dismal state of the world. But the spirit remains the same: storytelling is humanity’s refuge in dangerous times. And Plague Doctor masks are just freaking scary.

MY WITCH
The Margaret Hamilton Stories
By
John Ahlin
with
Jean Tafler
The amazing tale of how a gentle kindergarten teacher from Cleveland scared the living daylights out of every last one of us…and the brains, heart, and courage it took to be America’s character woman.
In a surprising, fun, haunting, and delightful evening, Jean Tafler portrays Margaret Hamilton, whose Wicked Witch of the West has left an indelible mark on us all. If there is one movie we all share it is The Wizard of Oz, but it is time to pay attention to the woman behind the cackle.
Spend 85 wonderful minutes with Margaret Hamilton, for she has true and terrific stories to tell.

Strange things have been happening in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Mysterious lights appear in the sky. Odd men in ill-fitting suits arrive in the dead of night. An impossible, red-eyed monster stalks the woods. And at the heart of it all, one young woman tries to find the truth behind a tragedy. Mothman! is a dark comedy about cryptids, conspiracies, and the stories that don't get told. STAY TUNED!
