World Premiere

Our latest feature, Funny Feelings, is a romantic-comedy following Zoey Lawton (Pretty Vee) and Nick Foster (Tristan Mack Wilds). A decade after building a comedy empire on their electric “are-they-or-aren’t-they” chemistry, two performers are forced to confront their unresolved feelings when a career-defining special unravels their act—and their truth—on a viral stage.

 

Stars: Tristan Mack Wilds, Pretty Vee, Chadwick Farley, Etienne Maurice, Pastor Mike McClure Jr., Terri J. Vaughn, Danielle LaRoach, and Kinyumba Mutakabbir. Directed by Rhonda Baraka.
