Comedy/Drama, Women’s History Month
Runs Mar 22May 04, 2024

Erica has never quite fit in. She was never popular in high school and—as the years have gone by—she’s felt more and more disconnected from the people in her life. Even her sister seems more preoccupied with her political ambition for town counsel than their mother’s recent passing. Normally, that would be just fine with Erica, but she’s been asking herself if this was all she could expect: a job at the local grocery and evenings alone.

Suddenly, at 30, she’s in love. Dee really understands her, and opens her eyes to true romance. He’s everything she’s ever wanted: warm, compassionate, a great listener and sexy AF. The fact that he’s a Dairy Queen sign is just a plus.

Nick Robideau walks a beautiful line between humor and depth in the best (and only!) objectum-sexual romance of the year. Inanimate takes us through surprisingly familiar lanes of teenage crushes and confused longings, all while unfolding the universal tale of embracing one’s true desires. Erica’s world, that breathes life into the inanimate, promises an experience that’s as charming as it is enlightening.

Running Time: 1 hour 30 minutes with no intermission
