Eye to eye
A powerful new one-act play featured in the Chain Theatre One Act Festival and produced by African Theater Inc., Eye to Eye explores the delicate shift from misunderstanding to connection between two unlikely roommates. Written and directed by Taiwo Aloba, the piece blends sharp dialogue and emotional nuance to capture a quiet but deeply human transformation.
Jackie Vlahos stars as Samantha, a woman who initially seems oblivious to her roommate's inner world—but as tensions build and truths surface, she’s forced to confront her own biases. What begins as emotional distance unravels into empathy, as both women discover what it means to truly see, and be seen.
Good knight
Good Knight, written and directed by Adam Kiss, is a neo-noir mystery thriller that follows a private investigator whose assignment takes an unexpected turn when he falls for the woman he was hired to find. Tension builds as secrets unravel, and the line between duty and desire begins to blur.
Jackie Vlahos appears as Michelle, a composed and enigmatic young woman introduced in a quiet backyard scene. Emerging from a pool with calm self-possession, Michelle offers a glimpse into the layered, emotionally charged atmosphere that defines the film.
HABITS OF TARDINESS
A raw and quietly powerful short film written and directed by Eugenie Min for NYU Tisch, Habits of Tardiness follows Francesca, a recent college graduate struggling to keep her life in forward motion.

The film navigates the emotional aftermath of assault with sensitivity and restraint, shedding light on the quiet, complicated ways survivors live with the past. Tense, intimate, and deeply human, Habits of Tardiness is a stark portrait of resilience in the face of lingering wounds.
