A young woman is on a mission to take DNA from our trash and, using a process called phenotyping, create a replica of a stranger's face so realistic, they'd recognize themselves if they passed her art gallery. Part geneticist, part artist... she is... The Biohacker. ​ Tuesday, November 15th TAROT READINGS BY DEBBIE* by Charlotte Lang directed by Danica Selem ​ Step across the threshold of your own ambivalence and enter the realm of the Divine. Consulting the Tarot, oracle reader and professional clairvoyant Debbie O’Malley-Salazar takes us on a journey deep into ourselves, where rivers run deep, the office is having mass layoffs, and occasionally deer lie dead in the road. What lies beyond the veil? *Sponsored by Dunkin Donuts OUR DARK DARK PLACE by Michael Bradley directed by Anna Strasser ​ The mind is a complex place. After a long bout of sadness, Dominic is forcing Jacob to get the help he needs. But the deeper Jacob gets into therapy, the more Dominic questions whether he truly saved him or hurt him. As the lines of motivation become blurred, finding the light ends up being their common goal. With a tinge of humor, Our Dark Dark Place tackles depression and the importance of having a hero in your corner.
