Production: Mia Jurkunas, Shira Gazit
Lighting Design: Andrew LaPointe 
Stage Manager: Erin Flanagan

What begins as an unconventional casting session between a promising playwright/director and a magnetic yet unpredictable actress quickly transforms into a charged battle in which the lines between rehearsal and reality blur. As they read the text, authority shifts, roles reverse, and control over the narrative becomes the ultimate weapon. In this intimate theatrical duel, desire, intellect, and storytelling collide, raising the question: Who is really in control?
