We’re all heroes when we work the Cheese Shift at the Park Slope Food Co-Op. There might be a corpse in the cooler, but we’re all too polite to talk about it. Part satire, part slasher, Homofermenters follows the Friday 6AM cheese shift as its members navigate co-operation, the collapsing planet, polyamory (kinda), and how to cut through a human-sized wheel of parmesan.

When an older man on a sugar daddy app isn’t looking for anything sexual– just a Nice Jewish Girl– that’s not weird, right?

A dark absurdist comedy that considers the myth of Lilith, Screech Owl delves into the sexed and sexual positioning of a Jewish girl on the verge of being a woman, or a monster, or something.

On the first day of California Right To Life Leadership Camp Age Division 15-17, everyone is so so excited. And nervous! And, honestly, mad!!

In Madison Fiedler’s new dark satire The Incubators, Anthony is working on his anger stuff but working harder on destroying abortion culture and Saidie wants to be pregnant so bad and Billie isn’t 100% sure she belongs here, but the one thing they can all get behind is that they are The Pro-Life Generation and they’re just getting started.

In a mountain town split into remnants of Appalachia’s past and glimmers of its future, a lottery is announced. Ticket rates: standard. The prize: the chance to speak with God. The devout think it's sacrilege and the skeptics are sure it's a hoax and no one's certain exactly what God needs money for, but in the chance that there's truth to it, who'd say no to a miracle? A magical-realist tragicomedy with the music of church and shaky violins and family dinners, If God Came a Callin dives into the holy and the familial and all the restless in-between.
