Legacy

Former members of a winning college rowing team reunite to celebrate their teammate’s success as the current coach. Under the expected drama– old crushes, former rivalries, and “who’s winning the reunion”– lie deeper wounds, and a collective traumatic experience from over a decade ago will resurface and demand they face it as adults.

The Queer Utopia

A lesbian couple moves into a their dream neighborhood– wealthy, leftist, and overwhelmingly queer– but their new struggle-free “normal” begins to eat away at their relationship and force them to ask whether their fantasy life was just heteronormativity– and if they really want that.

Why taylor Swift is Gay

A playwright and self-proclaimed “Gaylor” takes us through a presentation on why she is convinced that Taylor Swift is gay (and possibly already coming out). But what begins as an exploration of Taylor’s career, public life, and possible secrets is interrupted by interludes from her own life, until she’s faced not with the truth about Taylor, but instead with the reality of why she so badly needs her to be gay.

All Eight

Nine freshmen women sit in a boat together every morning at 6am on their collegiate rowing team, competing with each other up for best times, lowest body weights, and most influential seats, until race day when they are asked to put it all aside and row together as comrades in one boat. Crew would be chaotic enough on its own, but off the water, their coach shows up at their parties and drinks with them, makes lewd comments about their bodies, and is allegedly sleeping with one of them. So when one rower secretly rats him out for allegedly sleeping with a student and is seemingly rewarded with the best seat in the boat when he’s fired, her motives come into question– as does her position of privilege on the team. Over the course of their freshman year, All Eight examines how the world of collegiate sports drives these young women with varied power to fight to win– races, love, power– at the expense of even each other.

BEST FRIENDs

Best Friends introduces us to Elle Summers—a “walking college application” to most people, “loser” to some—who can’t wait to trade suburban Los Angeles and an abusive household for Harvard and grown up conversations. That is, until her friend Matthew Durand asks her to be the “clean-up crew” to his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend Haley Moore and what begins as an awkward evening of crying turns into Haley and Elle spending every moment together. And maybe more? That depends on who you ask. Tackling sexuality, high school culture, and social media communication/lack thereof, Best Friends shows us how coming out in the Internet era hasn’t gotten any easier.
