Moonlight and Magnolias by Ron Hutchinson
A hilarious behind-the-scenes romp!
It is three weeks into shooting Gone With the Wind and everything is falling apart. To save the film, Producer David O. Selznick stops production, locks his director and screenwriter in his office, and forces them to rewrite the entire script in five days! Based on (mostly) true events, this riotous, high-stakes comedy about the chaos and genius of moviemaking will leave you laughing out loud! And cheering!

The Call List by Brian James Polak
Part of The World Premiere Wisconsin Festival
A deadly serious comedy about being alive.
Meet Sam—a restless dreamer, anxious doodler, and professional wanderer in search of purpose. When her law firm boss hands her a simple list of names and one chilling task—call them all and announce a client’s death—her mundane workday takes a bizarre turn. Curiosity pulls Sam into a mystery that’s equal parts darkly funny and unexpectedly heartfelt. Armed with only her notebook and razor-sharp wit, she chases clues that lead to something far deeper – and more personal – than she expected.
