What Happened to Angela

Written by Shanice Lawton

Angela White, a successful attorney, vanishes on the night of her sister's birthday. In the studio of Trail Gone Cold, her loved ones recount memories, tensions, and suspicions. Who had motive? Who had means? And who holds the key to Angela's disappearance? "What Happened to Angela?" is a chilling, suspenseful drama that blurs the line between truth and deception.

Up With Romance

Finding love is one of the most thrilling things that can happen to a person. Looking for love can be thrilling too – but can also be challenging, disappointing, vexing, and downright maddening. “Up with Romance” is a set of nine short comedies that examine the highs and lows we encounter in the eternal quest for love and companionship, performed by an ensemble cast.

Over the course of the evening, characters you’ll recognize take tentative part in all the facets of relationships. From flirting with a stranger, through finding (and losing, and finding again) the right person, to engagement, marriage and divorce, “Up with Romance” is a step-by-step journey through the perils and promise of modern-day courtship. Set against backdrops ranging from a faux-Egyptian temple to a graveyard to an Orwellian dystopia, it’s a wide-ranging evening that’ll tickle your funny bone, take you back to some of your own experiences, and leave you with a smile on your face.
