About St. Juliana’s School for Troubled Girls
By Claire Vogel
Directed by Ahnikah Bachleitner
This quick-witted, modern, mumblecore show turns from funny to devastating on a dime. Young women are sent away to St. Juliana’s for various “troubling” things: sex, mental illness, drugs, and sexual identity. Together, six of these troubled girls take down the institution that is bleeding their parents dry and denying them the education they deserve.

About Taking Survey
By MacKenzie Mollison
Directed by Matt Koss
Zera is a young woman with big ideas. Hal is an older man who wants things to stay the way they are. While counting votes in their small town, the two of them engage in a fascinating, witty, and all-too-rare conversation about caste, politics, and challenges within the voting system and one another.
