Fathers lie, friends leave and she herself is failing in the artist’s world she covets-as her mother practices the art of disappearing before her very eyes. The devastating truth she discovers in her parents’ house threatens to tear all of them apart for good. Will Melissa stay and fight for her family? Or will she disappear too?

THE ART DISAPPEARINGOF MARCH 26- MAY 2, 2015 Drew has a mind that remembers every moment of his life. Maybe that’s why he can’t let go of his ex-wife and why he still remembers the software he developed for unmanned flying vehicles for the military. Their son Nathan grew up feeling inferior to his dad and volunteered to go to war. He once met Ramiro, a pilot who never gets to fly, but fires weapons from a desert in Nevada. When Ramiro is held responsible for a predator-drone friendly fire incident, how will the survivors piece together a future while absorbing a wounded past?

When reality is not to Adam’s liking, he retreats into a fairytale, winning Prince Eric’s love, despite a mermaid tail. Meanwhile Adam’s fiercely supportive parents are pulled in all directions as they grapple with keeping their son safe or giving Adam the freedom to be who she is.
