The Deal and the Descent

"The Deal and The Descent" is a film-noir style crime drama starring Charlie Cooke, a gritty detective who strives to find veracity in a crooked city. Throughout, he struggles with dames, deals, deaths, and Deuces. Periodically, he conveys these conflicts through narration, often using ridiculous metaphors and irrelevant similes. This is a stylistic, and often cliché ridden, look at an era of thin lines between right and wrong. PG-13

Admission: $10.00 - Tickets available at the door. Cash or check only.  Wheelchair accessible.
