Quarantine 2038 - Originally based on the Quarantine Bake Off script competition that was co-created by the University of Minnesota and New York University Film & Acting. There were five ingredients and while there were thousands of submissions, Quarantine 2038 wasn't selected. To ensure that we had something here, the play was submitted to Page2Stage Pipeline, a group of talented playwrights and it received rave reviews. From there it was adapted to film and to the left is the original show in the series (The Introduction). The show has been submitted to several film/script/show festivals and a series has started. Above is the trailer for Three Months In. Mutation is the next in the series, followed by Safety In Power and Redemption. The cast continues to expand as the story expands.
Quarantine 2038: Three Months In - It's been three months since the 13th pandemic since 2020 has hit. The Nashua Quarantine has had their walls closed, isolating from each other to ensure that no one within the Quarantine walls contracts the latest version of the disease. The dystopian landscape has expanded as we introduce new characters and bring to life characters that were introduced in the original.

HEATHER EUKITIS - NIKKI VEATCH
Heather thought she had left her days of performing on the shelf next to her worn out ballet pointe shoes long ago, but when Broken Arts Entertainment’s spectacularly charismatic founder and director, Joe Swenson, allowed her an opportunity to play Nikki Veatch in their virtual (pandemic) version of the production of "Quarantine 2038: Three Months In", she leapt at the chance. Heather's early ballet career took her from performing and training with the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow to New York's Eglevsky Ballet, from the Boston Ballet to the Ballet Academy of Miami. Heather notes a minor difference in her previous performing - she wasn't required to actually speak. Luckily, Heather's 12 year old daughter Emma, veteran performer and Broken Arts Entertainment enthusiast, helps by running lines and boosting her confidence. Heather is thrilled to be included in the fun, honored to be on stage (speaking this time), and privileged to have come to know so many dedicated, giving and talented people who she now counts as friends.

Q2038: Three Months In: (Festival copy/Distribution Copy complete) The Quarantine 2038 Universe expands to eight characters as we learn about a virus three months in that is ravaging the Outlands.

Stuck in the middle are Dag and Mo-Mo, being forced to pick sides, nothing is as it seems.
Character Breakdown:
Mo-Mo Montgomery (Zara Boss): Mo-Mo is a central character to the story and is introduced from the beginning. She is the daughter of Dr. David Montgomery, the Director of C.I.D.E. (See David's write-up for more information). Mo-Mo is confident, a bit bullheaded, intelligent, and very empathetic, like her mother was. She has fallen in love with Dag Willikins (see Dag's write-up for more information), but she is very much her own person, independent of the relationship she has with Dag.
Dag Willikins (Stanley Kimball): Dag is a central character to the story and is introduced from the beginning. He is the son of Quarantine councilwoman Karen Willikins. To Dag, Mo-Mo is everything. He's equal parts awkward, co-dependent, smitten, and courageous. He is predisposed to buying into conspiracy theories, but ultimately wants to do the right thing.
David Montgomery (Randy Hunt): David is a central character to the story and is introduced in Three Months In. The director of the Center for Infectious Disease Eradication (C.I.D.E.) and has been in this position for several years, but is not the originator of the position. He is also Mo-Mo's father. A single father since his wife, Daphne (See Daphne's write-up for more information) passed away in 2035, he maintains a decent, yet somewhat strained relationship with his daughter. He advises the Quarantines, but stays out of the Outlanders affairs until he's forced into the conversation.
Stephon "The Kid" Cheyenne (Jack Davis): Stephon is a central character to the story and is introduced in Three Months In. Stephon has recently taken his talents to a new job, being a trader. He trades goods and/or services between the Outlands and the Quarantines. He's part of a vast network of traders who keep commerce alive between the two factions. Though, he's more skilled than just being a trader. He's built a reputation of being a "modern day Robin Hood." He's intelligent, usually a step ahead and if not, then he's quick to catch up and get a step ahead.
Mel Veatch (Emma Eukitis): Mel is a central character to the story and is introduced in Three Months In. Mel is a very sick twelve year old when we meet her in Three Months In. She is also driven, a bit of a mastermind, and holds C.I.D.E. directly responsible for her father's death.

She has a singular motivation though and is driven by her political efforts.

He is eclectic and flamboyant, but determined to keep everything together.
