anthropology

Lauren Gunderson

2025, Fall

Merril has been spending more time with her sister Angie lately, but she’s not ready for anyone to know about it. At least, not until she’s ready to explain that Angie is an AI creation she developed to cope with her sister’s disappearance and death. When virtual Angie offers the possibility that real Angie might be still alive, Merril does everything she can to work with her creation to find her sister. But as the search continues, it becomes less and less clear whether an AI creation that Merril programmed to help her might have developed motives of its own.

The Submission

Jeff Talbott

Spring, 2025

Shaleeha G'ntamobi's stirring new play about an alcoholic black mother and her card sharp son trying to get out of the projects has just been accepted into the nation's preeminent theater festival. Trouble is, Shaleeha G'ntamobi doesn't exist, except in the imagination of wannabe-playwright Danny Larsen, who creates the pseudonym to hide his race. He makes a deal with Emilie, an actor, to pretend to be Shaleeha. But as the lies pile up, everyone dear to Danny must decide whether or not to run for cover as the whole thing threatens to blow up in his lily white face.

Perfect Arrangement

Topher Payne

2025, Spring

It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover. Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two “All-American” couples are forced to stare down the closet door.
