Set in a futuristic dystopian where society is governed by a council of vampires and lycanthropes, selection students are sheltered and raised in a deceptively utopian world. Strict rules are imposed to control population growth, education, and even personal interactions with other members of the Sector, all in the name of safety. When ‘A’ comes of age, she like all youth throughout Sector C and her selection classmates aren’t sent out into the world to find jobs, make money and lead happy carefree lives. They are forced to endure the rigorous physical and mental testing of Selection Week before choosing their destiny or being forced into a fate far worse. Those that make it out alive are announced as sector residence, given a position within the society, and allotted all the privileges of their chosen “culture.” However, when your only choices are vampirism, lycanthropy, breeder, blood donor, or banishment to the Wastelands, what choice do you really have? Suspenseful, intense, passionate, and awash in paranormal delights, Sector C captures the enchantment and mysteries of the supernatural world and the power of friendship.

Running on Empty…
A ticket in hand, I was almost home. Delay... Delay... Delay... Ten o'clock turned to eleven. Delay... Delay... Delay... Eleven turned to twelve. Delay... Delay... Delay... I walk in the door, it's a quarter past two. Delay... Delay... Delay... The alarm goes off and the day begins a new. Delay... Delay... Delay... Only three hours of sleep and I'm running on empty. Delay... Delay... Delay... No coffee is strong enough but my purpose is plenty. ~Running on Empty by Nina Soden

Theatre Huntsville is proud to announce its premiere Studio Series production, presented at the Studio Theatre at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment.
Love, Loss, and What I Wore is a play of monologues and ensemble pieces about women, clothes and memory covering all the important subjects—mothers, prom dresses, mothers, buying bras, mothers, hating purses and why we only wear black. Based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman.
Funny, compelling…Brought down the house…but [the play] is not a comedy: A story about black cowboy boots becomes a sad tale of being underappreciated in a relationship; a tale of two women shopping for their wedding outfits ends bittersweetly; and the recollection of a new bra is a quiet testament to a women’s search for dignity while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. —NY Times.
