Channel Surfing: An Unauthorized Nightmare

Written by Dylan Delroy Davis

"God is dead. Only the 'Feld remains."

Three unwitting friends are sucked into their favorite sitcom and forced into a surreal performance. It’s up to the neurotic and insecure Gina to navigate this nightmare; grapple with their all-knowing and kooky neighbor across the hall; and save her friends before it’s too late.
