Theater 191: Hey, Julia!
Gifted and successful novelist, Archie Lovecraft, is overworked and over stressed. He drinks too much and feels enormous pressure to stay on top in the literary world.

One Halloween afternoon, Julia, Archie's computer, has somehow come to life and starts verbally berating him. Will this talented writer be able to win this “war of words?”
