Means of Defense examines how we choose our loyalties. We are often grouped in society based on our race, culture, religion; but what priority does our basic humanity and spirituality play in how we see ourselves and how we are connected?
Preview: More Than A Dream
How far are you willing to go to follow your dreams? What are you willing to sacrifice? In More Than A Dream, everything is on the line for our main character, Sadar.
Preview: Lost Friends & Metaphors
Sometimes we believe the events of our life are happening randomly, not realizing that almost everything we do is about cause and effect; choice and consequence. Lost Friends & Metaphors demonstrates this lesson.

It is very noble to want to help and serve others, but make no mistake that there is a price to pay for choosing that path. Anybody seeking to enter a life of service should read Nun Other Sacrifice to grasp just how problematic it can get.
Preview: Ancient Laws of Attraction
There is no set formula when it comes to making new friends. However, some are closed-minded to accept people into their circle if they are different. In Ancient Laws of Attraction, we learn that not all friendships will look alike. In fact, often opposites tend to attract.
Preview: Insinuations
It’s very hard to prove what people are thinking, when they won’t say exactly what they mean. Especially when it comes to topics, such as racism, it can be an infuriating problem to encounter. This is the case with Insinuations.
Preview: Channel Into Our Lives
Our couple, in this short theatrical piece, Channel Into Our Lives, brings to attention how influential television and social media can be in our lives. We can allow events happening outside of our own immediate reality affect or mood and thinking, even when events have nothing to do with us, personally.
