A Strange Loop

Meet Usher. He’s dreaming of one day having a full-time career as a successful playwright, but currently he’s working front-of-house at Broadway’s The Lion King while grappling with his own artistic aspirations and personal identity. As he navigates the challenges of society's expectations, internalized racism, body image issues, self-doubt, and the complexities of his own desires, Usher confronts the "strange loop" of his existence all the while trying to write the very musical the audience is watching.

Venus in Fur

A beleaguered and controlling first-time director is desperate to find the lead for his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale Venus in Fur. Into his empty audition room storms an equally desperate actress—with connections to the material that seem to be too coincidental to be true. As the two work through the script, they blur the line between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of Submission and Domination that challenges power dynamics, industry norms and reality itself.
