AT THE MERCY OF THE GODS by Rosanna Yamagiwa Alfaro

Directed by Daniel Gidron  

Hephaestus, only son of Hera and Zeus, struggles in vain for his mother's love and endures the derision of the other gods.  He finds solace with Thalia, a mortal, but their blissful moments are fleeting due to frequent interruptions from other Olympians.  Mayhem, mischief, and hilarity ensue for gods and mortals alike in this story of familial dysfunction on Mount Olympus.

PICKETT'S CHARGE by Laura Harrington

Directed by Daniel Gidron  

Angela, the wife of a Civil War re-enactor, doesn't quite understand the allure of re-creating one of the bloodiest battles of the war.  After 10 years of sojourning to Gettysberg every July, she's had enough!  But this year, her husband thinks it's going to be different somehow...And indeed it is.
