25 Saints

Synopsis:
25 Saints is the story of Charlie and Tuck, a pair of Appalachian meth peddlers in rural West Virginia, hunted by corrupt local law enforcement for shooting and killing the deputy. The play focuses on a group forgotten people who, when not plastered on CNN when a coal mine collapses, are left to fend for themselves. It is a grim look into a world of poverty that makes folks resort to crime and violence that many of us can choose to ignore. . .

Synopsis:
A Girl With Sun In her Eyes is a re-invention of the police procedural. It's 6am and an undercover female police officer has been reported missing for several hours on the South Side of Chicago. The last person to see her is now the primary suspect in her disappearance. Two veteran police officers with complex ties to the missing officer--and each other--lead the interrogation. How far would you go to protect the life you have? "The Shield" meets "Memento" in this world premiere thriller.
