They meet for a game night at their apartment where a seemingly innocent card game turns volatile. One friend’s problematic behavior is called out, effectively blowing up the evening and the group's dynamic as a whole. Relationships are tested and hard conversations are had as they navigate what it means to be a present friend while each figures out how to show up for one another. Game Night is a seriocomedy that tackles themes of functioning substance abuse, shifting interpersonal dynamics, and societal constructs in a constantly fluctuating landscape.Cast & CrewPlaywright: Xander JacksonOMAR: Aaron Michael May @aaronmichaelmayVICTOR: Hayward Leach @hayward_leachLIAM: Xander Jackson @xndrjacksonDAPHNE: Kelsey Puttrich @kelseyputtBERNICE: Chrystal Campbell @chrystallove002TRICIA: Danielle Marivette Hernandez @dezmarivetteAbout the Lead Artists:Xander Jackson is a playwright/screenwriter, actor, director, & intimacy coordinator.
