🎧 QUESTA Act 1 — by Victor Bumbalo

Chelsea, 1991. An hour after the rain.

A grieving widower kills a stranger in an alley behind a gay bar. He runs to his sister. She hides the bloody clothes. He tries to disappear into his own life.

He can't.

The dead boy has a mother. A hairdresser in the Village. A priest she's been sleeping with. A homeless witness in the shadows who tells the police the wrong face on purpose. And a killer who cannot stop thinking about the boy he left in the alley.

QUESTA is a devastating, lyrical, morally serious story about grief, faith, and forgiveness. Monster's Ball meets Manchester by the Sea.

Featuring John Milhiser (Saturday Night Live), Oscar nominee Bruce Davison (Longtime Companion, X-Men), Maury Morgan (This Is Us, Richard Jewell), Anthony Holiday, Ashley Platz (Yellowstone), Bruce Nozick (Weeds, All the Way), Matt Bradford Sullivan (New Amsterdam, Juilliard), Darin Toonder (Paradise), Harriet Sansom Harris (Frasier, Phantom Thread), Rob Fitzgerald (American Crime Story), Kiel Kennedy (Robot Chicken, Superstore), Brendan Bradley (Resident Evil Village, Timeless), with Meeghan Holaway narrating.
