Five Guys Named Moe is about our hero, Nomax – he's broke, his lovely Lorraine left him and he's listening to the radio at 5:00 in the morning. Out of the radio, five guys named Moe appear.

Dearly Departed
by David Bottrell & Jessie Jones
(Directed by Bryan Mitchell) during the summer of 2025.
In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt, life and death are anything but orderly — and almost always hilarious. When the Turpin family gathered to mourn their dearly departed patriarch, their own troubles kept stealing the spotlight.
Through the mishaps, laughter, and Southern charm, the Turpins — with a little help from their oddball community —were able to stumble their way through the funeral after all.
We thank you for joining us for this side-splitting comedy of family, faith, and finding humor in life’s messiest moments.
