My Friend, Fletcher

Fletcher is no normal beta fish. Or is he?

Whatever the case, he is Nora’s partner in crime. Together, they live out the adventures they see from TV shows. But, what happens when life is far from television? Can a girl and her beta fish really solve crimes, or even murder?

This wild comedy explores the lines between reality and fantasy through the eyes of a girl and her beta fish. Talking fish, car chases, dunkaroos, parents who are still figuring it out, murder mysteries, and more. The audience is transported to the early 2000s, exploring a child’s view of reality, the challenges of parenting, and holding onto imagination when the real world challenges what we believe in. Who do we turn to when life feels too real?

Wait for the Tides

In a world where everyone has their own sandpit, a person can decide exactly how they want to build their sandcastle. But, the only thing that one can never decide, is when it could be washed away in moments. There is no controlling when a sandcastle will be strong enough against the tides.

Claire knows what she’s doing. And, unlike many, she’s going to build her sandcastle alone. Well, that is until Elliot stumbles upon her hidden cove. Will she release her independence? Will her castle withstand the tides, with or without him?

We love and love and love. Whether we want to or not, we love because we are human. No matter how we try to control it, love is as expected and unformidable as the tides of the sea.
