Set in a 1950’s hospital setting, this is play about women who are kept from advancing in their careers. They are forced to work menial jobs with very little career advancement or forced to be barefoot and pregnant at home, while men dominate the workforce. The story takes place at the height of the polio outbreak in 1952 in Brooklyn, New York. Dr. Saleem,  along with her colleagues, is eager to serve and come to the rescue of the vulnerable and very ill individuals during this crisis. She is challenged and her decisions questioned by her nemesis Dr. Emman, her male counterpart, who is from the superior ideology that female doctors are inferior and incompetent and have no place in the medical field besides washing trays and bedpans. He creates a world of chaos and is a terror to the female staff.

With Special Guest Vocalist, Tony Quaranti, singing the Sinatra Song Book

Award-winning comedian Peter J. Fogel (Star of the one-man show Til Death Do Us Part… You First!)  is back with his newest one-man stand-up comedy show, STILL ROCKIN’… As Long as I’m in Bed by 9 PM! 

A hysterical mix of stand-up, storytelling, and boomer-approved humor, Fogel takes audiences on a laugh-filled journey through the trials of aging while proving you can still “rock” — even if you’re rocking in a recliner.

With razor-sharp wit and relatable observations, Fogel explores everything from the mysteries of modern technology to the aches and pains of middle age, reminding audiences that life’s punch lines keep getting better with age. His high-energy performance has been delighting crowds nationwide, leaving them nodding in recognition and doubled over in laughter.

In the 60’s and 70’s — we had rotary phones, leisure suits, GI Joe action figures, 8-tracks, and we even rode bikes without Helmets.  Yes, Baby Boomers survived the ’60s and ’70s without GPSs, voicemail, and texting!  From the trials and tribulations of modern technology to the aches and pains that arrive uninvited– to getting your AARP discount, Fogel mines comedy gold from everyday moments of middle age and beyond!

FIRST THEY CAME FOR MY COLLEGE 

RT: 105 min (+15 min for QA) 

Patrick Bresnan (Grand Jury Award winner for The Rabbit Hunt, FFF 2017; Naked Gardens, FFF 2023) turns his camera on Sarasota, where New College of Florida, the state’s honors college, becomes the center of a much bigger story about who gets to teach, learn, and speak freely. Through the voices of students, professors, and organizers living it in real time, the film traces how quiet policy changes can snowball into something much larger, self-censorship, surveillance, and the slow erosion of trust. Told through vérité footage, archival news, and deeply personal interviews, it captures fear and courage sitting side by side, communities figuring out what to hold onto and what they’re willing to fight for. This isn’t a film interested in taking sides. It’s interested in what gets lost when fear replaces curiosity, and what that might mean for all of us, not just for one campus.

 Director Bio: Patrick Bresnan (First They Came for My College) makes verité stories that counter the mythic concepts of America. He directed and shot The Rabbit Hunt which premiered in the US at Sundance and in Europe at the Berlinale. The film won over 20 awards including the Cinema Eye Honor. He co-directed the short “Skip Day” which won the grand jury prize at The Directors Fortnight at Cannes. He co-directed, shot, and produced the feature film Pahokee, which premiered in competition in 2019 at Sundance. The following year he was a cinematographer on the Sundance winning feature Boys State. His most recent feature Naked Gardens premiered in the 2022 documentary competition at Tribeca and in Europe at IDFA. His new short “The Passing” won the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival

 JUNKIE

RT: 105 min (+15min for QA) 

Junkie follows Stevie Chapman through 72 chaotic hours of trying to get it right, one more time. She’s run from rehab again, and this time she’s chasing something bigger than an escape, a chance to make things right with the son she’s spent years pushing away. Writer-director William Means doesn’t flinch from the mess of it. And Rocky Shay, a real-life recovering addict, brings Stevie to life with a rawness that feels less like acting and more like truth. Funny, heartbreaking, sometimes both in the same breath. Underneath the chaos, this is a story about a mother and son trying to find their way back to each other. About dignity. About how hope survives even when everything else falls apart.

Director Bio William Means (Junkie) (he/him) is a Los Angeles-based writer and director who earned his MFA in directing at the AFI Conservatory in 2021. Since AFI, William worked alongside cinematographer Lawrence Sher as well as director Patty Jenkins. His most recent short, “Blue Square Heart,” qualified for the 2024 Oscars®.

AIA Theatrical Productions is proud to present the world premiere of off-Broadway playwright Mike Vogel’s An Honest Conversation.

An Honest Conversation about race between two friendly couples descends into a heated conflict, threatening their fledgling business venture, their friendship, and, before the night is over, their marriages.

Here’s what those who have read or seen the play workshopped had to say:

“A truly great play.” (Terry Burrell, actor, Dreamgirls, who is currently working to get a production of the play at Atlanta’s Theatrical Outlet)

“A masterpiece.” (Jeffrey Bruce, renowned South Florida and Atlanta director)

“Incredibly timely: this play hits the zeitgeist right in the gut.” (Eric Webb, director of creative development, Davenport Theatrical Enterprises)

While clearly a drama, An Honest Conversation also has laugh-out-loud comedic moments woven throughout, fitting for a playwright who has written original material for numerous major comics, including Rodney Dangerfield.
