Join us for a merry tale of fellowship and folklore! Once, they were Little John, Friar Tuck, Alan-a-Dale, and Will Scarlet. Now they are the last of Robin Hood’s band of rogues, and they think their battles are behind them. Long dead are Robin, Marian, King Richard, and the Sheriff. With Will Scarlet newly freed after years of imprisonment, they all gather at Rufford Abbey to drink wine and remember better days. But for one of them, the battle is far from over. They must face what it means to be a legend, and what happens to warriors who outlive their wars. (85 mins; no intermission)

Usher is an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s masterful tale of haunted madness. Written by celebrated Michigan author John Sousanis, Usher explores the decaying home of a once-prosperous family. Roderick and Madeline are the last of the legendary Usher clan, and have invited a long-absent friend to their macabre mansion. Happy reunions quickly take a dark turn as familial horrors both real and imagined rise up to claim the last of the line. Will the visitor be able to save his beloved friends from the encroaching darkness, or are the Ushers and their house destined to fall?

Hallie Heaton is a beloved Nurse Practitioner in a tiny Texas town beset by every economic and existential struggle one could think up. After losing her medical license, she teams up with a local witch and a drug dealer to forge a new path to treating her patients. Magic and Medicine collide and coalesce in Sunrise Coven, a dark comedy about healers, healing, and pharmaceuticals, in a town that’s barely holding on.

A Gothic drama. In the 1800s, the wilds of France were stalked by a fearsome creature. Over three years, the Beast of Gévaudan claimed over one-hundred victims. Then, an outcast forester killed a hideous wolf-like creature and presented its corpse to King Louis for a rich reward. However, the story he told may not have been the entire truth. He certainly didn't mention a strange woods-witch and her involvement in his great hunt.
