## Resource

Rooms of Experience, Act 2 By Steffany Sommers Starring Patty McCormack as Ada Wells and Dan Lauria as DA Harvey Davis The cracks start to spread. Dana tries to outrun the case. Literally. But every answer leads to worse questions. She digs into Teddy’s past. Talks to doctors. Families. People who trusted institutions and paid for it. What she finds isn’t comforting. Facilities where the vulnerable disappear. Bruises explained away. Medication used as control. Silence treated like consent. Ada’s fear wasn’t paranoia. It was experience. Meanwhile, the pressure builds. Disability rights groups mobilize. The media sharpens its narrative. And DA Harvey Davis makes it clear. This case is about optics, not nuance. “No deal,” he reminds her. Win at all costs. Alexis keeps pushing for mercy. Gina watches Ada waste away. Funeral grief turns into physical collapse. The woman who survived everything may not survive this. Dana stands in the middle. Her career on one side. Her conscience on the other. She starts to see herself in Alexis. In Ada. In the choices women make just to survive systems designed without them. By the end of Act Two, Dana knows. This trial isn’t about guilt. It’s about who she becomes when the whole world is watching. And there’s no clean way out. _______________________________ Starring Academy Award nominee Patty McCormack (The Bad Seed) as Ada Wells with Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years) as DA Harvey Davis Craig Parker (The Lord of the Rings) as Detective Curtis Nicholas Gonzalez (The Good Doctor) as Carter Nora Zehetner (Heroes, Everwood) as Rebecca Alyshia Ochse as Dana Jeffries Candice Coke as Alexis Martinez Eileen Grubba as Gina Gordon Alain Uy as Ethan and…
