Season 1 Episode 6 - The Trial of Bastiano di Bologna - Book, Music, and Lyrics by Aaron Jensen

It's the 8th Century in the courts of the Vatican Judiciary. Faithful attendant to the Pope, Bastiano di Bologna, has been summoned to stand trial on several counts, including the attempted murder of His Holiness! Bastiano admits to having sneaked into the holy bed chambers, but insists that his objective was not to commit a crime! Bastiano woefully recounts how earlier that day, he witnessed something so shocking - so devastatingly unsettling - he had no choice but to verify his nightmarish vision, whatever the cost!

Hijinx & Sue: A Mini-Musical

Season 2 Episode 1 - Hijinx & Sue: A Mini-Musical - Book by Jessi Pitts, Music by Daniel J.F. Wolfert, and Lyrics by Jessi Pitts and Daniel J.F. Wolfert.

Though Hijinx—the bright-eyed A.I. of a spaceship—would much rather be on an adventure with her world-weary captain Sue, it’s inspection day, and between their outdated systems and an inspector with an (im)personal vendetta, this adventure might just be their last. Accompanied by a synth-laced, pop-electronica score, Hijinx and Sue will learn a lot about friendship (and a little about buttholes too).

Starring: Nora Schell, Fin Gagnon, and Melanie La Barrie.

In the Australian desert, a family of turtles works hard to find food for their sick mother. Sheila, the cleverest - yet smallest - turtle of the family, is mocked by her brothers for not being able to contribute due to her size. When Sheila hears about a cure located dangerously far across the desert, she determines to bring the seeds back to save her mum. While crossing the sand, Sheila encounters a kangaroo, followed by a dingo, where she is forced to use her brain instead of her size to overcome the obstacles and make her mum well.
