Friday, February 8, 2019 @ 8 p.m.
This Is What? by Griff Thomas
There’s a lot more in store for Stewart than a quiet desk clerk job at Hotel Harris. Will summer on Seneca Lake prepare him for life after college or is he in over his head?

Saturday, Feb 9 @ 2 p.m.
Alterations by D. C. Gallant
Rosie had lived quite the life – WWII-era singer, mother, widow, traveler, activist – now her daughter Melody, Melody’s husband, and their daughter must assemble the pieces . . .

Saturday, Feb 9 @ 4 p.m.
Something Glorious by Barbara Barrett Billings
Life is made up of comedy and drama. Families are made up of the same. And it’s all here in Something Glorious.

Saturday, Feb 9 @ 8 p.m.
Out in the Street by Graham Knight
Bob and Cammy are living “The Dream” – at least that’s what they keep telling themselves. They even have the 4 bedroom house and a 10 year old son to prove it, but when Bob’s childhood catches up with him, he and Cammy find themselves trapped between Bob’s long-divorced parents with nowhere to hide.

Sunday, Feb 10 @ 2 p.m.
Saints & Martyrs by Betsy Arnett
Lydia has it all – a devoted husband, two grown children, and a successful catering business – but life isn’t turning out the way she expected. There are no grandchildren on the way, her mother keeps escaping from the assisted living facility, and her free-spirited sister is not helping.

Sunday, Feb 10 @ 5 p.m.
