The Twelfth Story

Written by Rebecca Goldberg
Directed by Amy Poisson
Thu-Sat, Jan 29-Feb 20
Industry night: Mon, Feb 8

Athena, a researcher struggling through academic disgrace in the post-post-apocalypse, unearths findings of an ancient tribe of botanists with extraordinary methods to make plants grow. She connects with these survivors through space and time, watching helplessly as their society is devastated by an encroaching cultural amnesia and the botanists are threatened with mass extinction. Athena must try to find a way to bring their stories back to life in the present day.

The Strange Misadventures of Patty (trailer)

Happiness is precarious in Allison Mooreʼs The Strange Misadventures of Patty, Pattyʼs Dad, Pattyʼs Friend Jen and a Bunch of Other People: Patty, a rising young economist whose best friend Jen has superpowers, has a life full of promise and dance numbers—which is abruptly derailed by the arrival of her estranged, alcoholic father, whoʼs just had a stroke. The Strange Misadventures of Patty juggles delightful fantasy, social comedy, economic theory, and harsh reality with vivid language and wild physicality. Directed by Amy Poisson.
