Saturday, May 1

"Rocked" by Lisa Paterson
Roxy has been waiting alone in a cheap motel room off Interstate 19 in southern Arizona for her boyfriend Tommy. He has abandoned her before, but this time is different. Can Tommy charm his way back into her heart or has she had enough of his self absorbing ways? Come get ROCKED and find out.

"Skin Deep" by Mary Lynn Dobson
Just because it glitters, doesn't mean it's pretty. SKIN DEEP is a somewhat scathing comedy that focuses on the world of child beauty pageants. The setting is the Young Miss All American Pageant where a documentary is being filmed that focuses on three pageant moms, Brittany's Mom, Amber's Mom, Cristal's Mom as well as two pageant directors and a seasoned beauty queen. SKIN DEEP takes a biting look at how the edges are blurred as to what should be classified as "pageant fun" and what should be classified as money-making exploitation.
