FEATURED WORKS

ARCHIPELAGO

EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE TO BEGIN AGAIN

The Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright, Will Arbery (Heroes of the Fourth Turning, Plano), hailed this script as "a story of grief so powerful, it tears the very fabric of the universe apart." On the banks of the Scottish Northern Isles, Bosco and Marcelle once cared for a son, but now they mourn the missing child. In fable, a young lad called Otter searches for a way to start over. A rich exploration through the depths of the seas brings the family freedom, love, heartbreak, and darkness. Reality and fable are far more connected than we see. A twisted and lively tale, Archipelago is a charming and surprisingly hilarious story of imagination, grief, and second chances.

THE STARS, THE TRAIL, AND ALL'S INBETWEEN

SHE TOOK A TRIAL AND CALLED IT A TRAIL

On the westward trails, when our pioneering trains and companies found themselves less than fortunate, difficult decisions were made in preservation of the party. One of these decisions involved the “leaving behind” of widows and women, stranded on the side of the road, where they would wait for a more prosperous party to come along that might take them in. The Stars, the Trail, and All’s Inbetween tells the grim story of five valiant women, stuck at a crossroads, waiting for prospects to pick them up. In this strange wilderness, stranded by their parties and their pasts, they discover the irony of the plains, the futility of their decisions, and the camaraderie of Zion.

COD

FAITH IS A DANGEROUS THING TO KEEP IN A BUCKET

A Galilean fisherman catches a codfish he believes to be the returned Messiah and sets out to carry Him safely to Jerusalem. Joined by his family and an unlikely company of believers, skeptics, sinners, and seekers, the journey becomes a test of faith, sacrifice, repentance, and divine purpose. Irreverent and unexpectedly tender, Cod is a comedic parable about recognizing God in unexpected forms—and choosing belief even when revelation appears foolish to the world.
