    • Synopsis
    • A documentary crew follows the All Voice is Theater company and crew, led by their fearless director Roger Bastion (Chris Guerra), on their journey of ups and downs (mostly downs) as they attempt to re-open their theater in the middle of a global pandemic. It doesn’t go as well as they planned and they are forced to pivot. And pivot again. This heartwarming and hilarious film will leave you feeling like there is hope still left in this crazy world.
      A true film of the times and a Mockumentary for the ages.
