When eight strangers receive an invitation to the America in One Room event in 2019, promising robust discussions on a wide range of social and political topics, sparks fly, tempers flare, and comedy abounds. At a time when everyone thinks they’re right, it will take more than political debate to find common ground. Inspired by the real-life convention of the same name, AMERICA IN ONE ROOM is a comedy-drama that tackles our nation’s past, present and future (and even employs a little audience participation) to answer the question: is there hope for our country?

When the laundromat’s basement turns out to be an illegal cockfighting ring, the cousins can’t tell if this is an opportunity to cash out and become their most fabulous selves—or a trap to keep them locked into what everyone expects them to be.

Ask any high school senior and they’ll tell you that prom night is the most important night of their lives.

An innocent, college-bound kid, who made the colossally bad decision to ask Julian to the prom. Now Julian has the senior class right where he wants them – all in one spot so he and his henchmen can bring them to his planet to be his servants for the rest of their lives.
It’s a fight to the finish as Becca and her friends try to save themselves from a horrible existence and – more importantly – save the prom!
