Daddy's Dyin', Who's Got the Will?

After years of estrangement, the Turnover family reunites at their small-town Texas estate to bid farewell to the family patriarch, who has suffered a debilitating stroke. Joined by their plus-ones, they bring with them a tangled web of family trauma, greed, and jealousy.

Everyone is eager to claim their share of the inheritance—but there’s one major problem: who has the will?! What starts as a somber farewell quickly spirals into chaos as the family embarks on a frantic hunt to locate it.

This sometimes heartbreaking, often hilarious journey through family dynamics offers moments of sharp wit, surprising warmth, and a poignant reminder: sometimes losing something precious is the only way to find what truly matters.

Don't miss what Variety called "A masterful comedy," and what the L.A. Times called "A knockout."Read more

Tabatha Winbush's Novel is a dramatic thriller that captivates readers with a journey through the memories of Tabatha Winbush, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist. The story unfolds in Tabatha's home, where her work is frequently interrupted by a variety of characters. Some are welcome, while others, such as the ambitious university student Della, who seeks anecdotes for her own novel, are a nuisance. Tabatha's love interest, Harven Grimble, is the most troublesome, with his unexpected visits and attempts to whisk her away on vacation, disrupting her work. These interruptions culminate in Tabatha revealing the chilling origins of her novels, exposing to the audience the true source of her eerily compelling narratives.Read more
