Val (Siobhan Fallon Hogan) still aspires after a long time of aspiring to be a country music singer. With the onset of the pandemic and the stages of her small town's bars shuttered, she pivots to work as a prison guard alongside her brother/warden (Robert Patrick). She slowly develops a caring relationship with Jackson Marcus (Peter Macon), who is incarcerated and facing execution. Shot in the hometown of Siobhan Fallon Hogan (Saturday Night Live, Forrest Gump, Seinfeld, Holes, Men in Black), Shelter in Solitude highlights how we perform for others, how we care for others, and how we bond with others even when isolation is forced upon us.

Following the success of her last film, Bodies Bodies Bodies, writer/director Halina Reijn said she was inspired to make a film like 9½ Weeks but from the female's perspective. The spirit of 1980s and 1990s erotic thrillers with an updated sensibility and humanity comes through in Babygirl, which won numerous accolades including Best Actress for Nicole Kidman at the Venice Film Festival. The film follows a high-powered CEO (Kidman) of an empty-box business who puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much-younger intern. GET TICKETS

MOMIX propels you down the rabbit hole in Artistic Director Moses Pendleton's Lewis Carroll-inspired creation, Alice. The company enchanted DPAC audiences in 2013 and 2016 with the incredible physicality of its dancers, who seamlessly blend illusion, acrobatics, magic, and mystery. "I don't intend to retell the whole Alice story," Pendleton says, "but use it as a taking off point for invention." GET TICKETS
