This full-length comedy follows Vicky, Gwen, and Brooklyn through their endeavors at a small ice cream shop in a tiny town in Tennessee while trying to find their purpose in life.

Thicker than Water by Justin Williams
Directed by Alison Lamb
Thicker Than Water is a full-length play that follows the journey of Liz and her boyfriend Marty, as he returns home to the secluded island of Cape San Mire nearly eight years after the disappearance of his mother. Our story unfolds as we meet a millionaire recluse, a small town cop, a feisty caregiver, . . . and perhaps a witch that resides in the swamp. Why has Marty’s father locked himself in the house? What happened to Marty’s mother? And will Liz discover a dark magic deep within the bayou? Find out soon.
