Dark Matters, a Suspense-filled Thriller at the Spring Garden Mill 

Plot: Something strange is happening in the mountains of Virginia. Bridget Cleary vanishes one night, leaving her husband and teenage son stunned. Then, just as soon as she left, Bridget reappears with a terrifying story: she came face-to-face with aliens, and they want her son, Jeremy, next. But is the threat to the Clearys supernatural or all too human? From Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the creator of Riverdale, Dark Matters is "a taut thriller... smartly constructed and written" (Curtain Up) about the secrets that can either hold families together or tear them apart.

From the Director: “"Though the plot revolves around Bridget's extraterrestrial interactions, at its core, Dark Matters is a beautiful story about human connection, the ties that hold a family together, and the fragility of trust. Through the events that befall the Cleary family, we learn that there are many things in this universe that are mysterious and unknowable, including, sometimes, one another's true intentions."
