Festival Run 2025-2026

       The Last Act follows Jacqueline, an oversized, struggling musical theater

actress living in the hustle and bustle of NYC. After enduring countless rejections and

humiliations, Jacqueline’s frustrations reach a breaking point when a casting director

cruelly insults her at an audition.

​

In a desperate spiral, Jacqueline kidnaps Andrew, a pretentious producer, and drags

him to a basement to force him to confront the industry’s callousness. However, the

lines between reality and Jacqueline’s performance blur as it’s revealed that the entire situation may be part of a twisted film production.

​

With sharp dark humor and a suspenseful edge, The Last Act explores the relentless

pursuit of success, the weight of societal expectations, and one woman’s descent into

madness as she fights to have her final moment in the spotlight.
