Alice Adams sits alone in a small-town American diner at lunchtime circa 1960, which suddenly begins to buzz when two strangers enter that stick out even worse than she does. Two young African-Americans, Mary and Ray, take a seat at the whites-only counter, asking to be served with simplicity and courtesy. Alice witnesses the racism they immediately encounter, and in turn she’s presented with an opportunity that will change her life forever: Alice decides to support the cause, joining Mary and Ray for the “sit-in” protest. But when tensions begin to boil in the diner, will Alice’s good intentions be enough to protect the integrity of the non-violent protest started by Mary and Ray?

Bracken Hanke wraps a role on “Magicians” – Episode 208

Magicians, an American fantasy television series, debuted with a special preview on SyFy and Showcase on December 16, 2015, and the rest of the series premiered on January 25, 2016 in its regular time slot. It’s the result of collaboration by McNamara Moving Company, Man Sewing Dinosaur, Groundswell Productions and Universal Cable Productions. The Magicians is created by Sera Gamble and John McNamara.

Based upon Lev Grossman’s best-selling books, The Magicians centers around Brakebills University, a secret institution specializing in magic. There, amidst an unorthodox education of spellcasting, a group of twenty-something friends soon discover that a magical fantasy world they read about as children is all too real— and poses grave danger to humanity.

Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) begins his studies of magic at Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy. His lifelong friend Julia Wicker (Stella Maeve), however, is not admitted to Brakebills, and joins a secret magical society.

When nuclear Armageddon destroys civilization on Earth, the only survivors are those on the 12 international space stations in orbit at the time. Three generations later, the 4,000 survivors living on a space ark of linked stations see their resources dwindle and face draconian measures established to ensure humanity’s future. Desperately looking for a solution, the ark’s leaders send 100 juvenile prisoners back to the planet to test its habitability. Having always lived in space, the exiles find the planet fascinating and terrifying, but with the fate of the human race in their hands, they must forge a path into the unknown.
