The Summer Film Project, founded in 1995, brings students, faculty and industry professionals together on the production of a large scale short film. The pre-production and filming takes place in the summer session, while post-production takes place in the fall and winter semesters. The film makes its world premiere in the spring, then begins to tour film festivals before finding a home on a streaming platform. The Wealthy Theatre premiere of Pets will give audiences the first look at this film, along with an exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary.

Natalie will be choreographing for “ The Kamikaze Mind” . Thomson Street Opera Company returns with a pair of new operas: "The Kamikaze Mind" by Nicole Murphy, and "Would You Eat Me?" by Joshua Brown. Featuring a local all-star cast, the production is led by company Executive & Artistic Director Claire DiVizio, conductor Jennifer Huang and choreographer Natalie Elizabeth (both company debuts), supported by an exceptional technical and artistic staff.

"The Kamikaze Mind" explores the final moments of a man's consciousness as he is sucked into a black hole. His memories fragment into three beings in conversation, who embody his core identity, and two additional perspectives on his life, who also represent two lovers from his past. After an intermission, we present the premiere of "Would You Eat Me?" This absurd comedy follows the protagonist as she digs her way out of a depressive episode by attempting to cook something from one of her celebrity chef mother's videos. While it doesn't exactly turn out the way she hopes, she does learn something important along the way-- and it's not about baking.
