With nothing to lose, the pair decides to try to create something new with the help of their friends Susan, Heidi and Larry on the eighty-eights. With the cast in place, Jeff and Hunter begin a conversation about what to write about. Eventually, Jeff suggests they write about what to write about. They make a pact to write up until the festival's deadline and dream about the show changing their lives. [title of show] -- taken from the space on the festival's application form which asks for the "[title of show]" -- follows Hunter and Jeff and their friends on their journey through the gauntlet of creative self-expression. In the span of 90 minutes they write and perform their show at the festival and learn lessons about themselves as people, friends and artists.

Christmas in Christmasville, a Christmas Show about Christmas Movies
Written and Directed by Chris Byrne Audition Dates: Oct 23 at 7pm and Oct 24 at 7pm
Dec 1 - Dec 17 If you are a hopeless romantic who loves to curl up and bask in the glow of holiday rom-com movies, you won’t want to miss Christmas in Christmasville, a Christmas Show about Christmas Movies. This vaguely mid-western small town has it all: a disillusioned widow, a generically handsome barista, an overworked lawyer, her chronically single sister, a big-city cookie mogul, a country singer, C-list actors, a holiday festival, Christmas songs, and of course a beloved old man with a white beard. This original musical comedy is sure to delight people who are so filled with holiday spirit that they start listening to Christmas music in September as well as the people who like to make fun of them.
