Synopsis: When a baby boy is orphaned in the California Sierras on Christmas Eve, 1850, two curmudgeonly miners agree to raise him. A decade later, the boy's idyllic life is interrupted by the arrival of a meddling aunt, who intends to take him back to Boston for a formal education and a life of success. Inspired by the stories of Bret Harte, The Christmas Foundling is a heartwarming holiday tale, with the love of a child at its center and an unlikely romance as its driving force. | ||||

A professor of philosophy, his fashionista wife, and their glib young friends must rise to the boy's erotic and spiritual challenge, questioning their lives as they question his very identity. With high comedy and thought-provoking drama, 'In the Garden' blends sexual conventions, high fashion, Nietzsche, and Christ in an uber-theatrical rollercoaster ride. | ||||

Choosing glory over love, Jenny is transformed into Joan only to find herself imprisoned and facing death. Given a final choice to embrace her destiny or deny the existence of her spiritual guide -- and friend -- she makes the ultimate sacrifice. | ||||
