2:00PM ET Leaving Krestova

BY Jenny Crakes

“I’m asking you to come now, so that maybe we can both tear down the fence.”
One icy night in 1955 changed everything for Tara – her idealized worldview, her village in rural British Columbia, and most of all her best friend Irina.
A generation later, she’s more uncertain, more stuck, and more alone than ever. Can reconnecting a family help her heal the scars of that night?

Featuring: Catherine Overfelt, Claire Shiell, Courtney Megaro,  Erin Moughon, Gil Torres, Kirsten Hopkins, Leslie C. Nemet, Miranda Reilly, Rick Taylor-Rivera

5:00PM ET Unfamiliar: A Maidstone Tale

BY David Ceci

A flickering candle. A knock at the door. Another light snuffed out. Memories and spirits lurk after dark, and in the Hamptons of the 1950s, Anne must contend with 300 years of such things. After all this time, Anne yearns for something more, but what happens next is unfamiliar even to her.

Featuring: Alexandra Bonesho, Caitlin Belforti, Marina Barry, Ursula Anderman

8:00PM ET el exorcismo de Georie Garcia

BY Peter Pasco

The first rule of Catholicism is you CAN’T quit Catholicism.  The second rule of Catholicism is you CAN’T QUIT Catholicism. The third rule- ¡Ya tu sabes!  Sadly, nine year old Georgie Garcia is going to learn this the hard way as he embarks on a quest to quit Catholicism.  Geeez-us!

Featuring: Anjali Khurana, Anthony Rutowicz, Daniel Penilla, Julie Lippert, Maria Isabella Rojas, Maria Peyramaure, Matt Orduña, Orlando Roodriguez
