FILAMENT THEATRE CO. proudly presents the LOS ANGELES PREMIERE of “second”

Founded and operated by CalArts Theatre School alums, FILAMENT THEATRE CO. proudly presents the LOS ANGELES PREMIERE of “second” — a multifaceted dark comedy of mind games.

While “the worst snowstorm in history” rages, a mysterious man touches a woman, seemingly brings her back to life — then disappears. The mystery and media frenzy instigates three sets of New Yorkers to question their faith in radically different ways — in a hotel room, a scientist and a prostitute test the boundaries of trust; in their brownstone, a doctor and a tv news-reporter teeter on the edge of their future; in a tenement, two criminals on a job await further instructions.
