Venue: Marroney Theatre
Start Time: 6:00pm

What do an arrogant AI painter, an eerie guestbook, a missing chicken, a resentful dancer, a father-daughter camping trip, a quest for vengeance, two sisters at a party, a trio stuck on a backroad, and a woman stuck in a rom-com world have in common?

They are all part of MAGIC HOUR, a free screening of short fiction films made by students in the University of Arizona’s School of Theatre, Film & Television and they will all premiere on May 14 in the Marroney Theatre.
