SWIFT
by Lindsay Nicklas
Directed by Emily Begin
When twelve‑year‑old Swift O’Dell meets a girl playing her flute in an abandoned stone quarry, old stories he’s heard begin to echo real life. After a series of robberies alarms his small community, suspicion gathers around the girl’s father, and Swift finds himself torn between protecting his new friend and telling the truth. Pulsing with the heat and hush of an upstate summer, SWIFT is a coming‑of‑age story celebrating friendship, resilience, clamor, and joys of rural life.

Doubt & Frisbee
by Kellie Powell
Directed by Colleen Bunn
As seven friends decide to host their own college reunion at a small-town bed and breakfast, they’re keenly aware that this year’s gathering has additional significance. Shirley, the longtime center of their social circle, has a terminal diagnosis, and may not live to see another reunion. As relationships are rekindled, hearts are broken, and unrequited passions come to light, these seven friends are forced to both confront and embrace the people they’ve become.
