Subject X January 28 @ 7PM, January 30 @ 9:30PM, February 3 @ 7PM, February 6 @ 9:30PM, February 8 @ 3PM, February 10 @ 7PM Presented by As We Were Madelyn Cardarelli—Writer, Director, Producer Tess Riley—Lead Actress, Producer Nate Wise—Actor Part TED Talk, part nervous breakdown, Subject X dives headfirst into the unhinged psychology of modern romance. Paige Evans, a brilliant but painfully self-aware grad student, turns her obsessive crush into a live research presentation — complete with slides, data charts, and audience participation. What begins as an academic study in “the Language of Subtext” quickly unravels into something far more personal, exposing the blurred line between love, delusion, and self-preservation. Both hilarious and heartbreaking, Subject X dissects the rituals of dating in the digital age — the text response times, the Instagram story views, the endless ambiguity — and asks: when does curiosity become obsession, when does love become a symptom, and how can we approach modern romance with a bit more fearlessness?
