Episode 1- Coming Soon-
He's your Otis with the Mostest. When a hopelessly romantic spiritual medium meets her next hot catch (and client), she soon learns that this time, the story really isn't her new future with her client as much as it is his past.
"Forget everything you think you know about Shakespeare. Titus Andronicus is Shakespearean horror at its most brutal—a relentless descent into revenge, betrayal, murder, madness, and blood-soaked vengeance."
"As Tamora’s sons, Demetrius and Chiron, Jacob Ayala and Rachelle Claire portray the brothers as both menacing and mentally damaged. The two play with one another throughout the production, sometimes as part of the main action and sometimes in the background, but that playfulness always carries a threatening edge. Even when the focus is elsewhere, they maintain an unsettling presence."

The Riverside Scene
"At the center of this production is a deeply affecting performance by Rachelle Claire as Juliet. Claire commands attention from her first entrance, delivering Shakespeare’s language with clarity and emotional precision. Her Juliet is sharp, spirited, and grounded, a young woman in full control of her emotions even as her world unravels. Opposite her, Ivan Valencia brings a vulnerable sincerity to Romeo, capturing both the impetuousness and poetic longing that define the character. Together, their chemistry is magnetic, particularly in the balcony scene and the final tomb sequence, where the heartbreak lands with devastating impact."- Stephen Day
