A teenaged prodigy painter preparing for his widely anticipated coming‐of‐age exhibition falters under pressure and slips off his medication. In his mania, he recruits a band of Bushwick rebel artists to take part in his progressively subversive show—one that will leave mouths agape.
A wisecracking NYC private detective earns a living by exposing cheating husbands to their wives, but when he falls for a client, he starts to reconsider everything he believes.
Fired from his band and hard up for cash, guitarist and vocalist Dewey Finn finagles his way into a job as a fifth-grade substitute teacher at a private school, where he secretly begins teaching his students the finer points of rock 'n' roll.

Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull" is interpreted by a handful of top shelf stage actors from New York City as they converge in an upstate lakeside retreat.

In full view of their fellow artists as well as a wider participating audience, the performers’ most intimate impulses are splayed open and made public.
