What if an imaginary climate activist broke the wall between the stage and the sea to host a sit-in on the Great Garbage Patch? In this (mostly) 1-woman show, She draws the audience into her trashy theater world, and challenges them to imagine a better one. Through interactions with puzzles, props, plastic, politics, and prose (sometimes all at once), people will ponder upon the problem of the Pacific.
My first "real world" production. With my dear collaborator, Tyler Neufeld, we created and successfully funded a Kickstarter goal of over $3000. This production was particularly challenging because most of the pre-production happened over ZOOM while I was still in Chicago for school! All in all, I learned how to fundraise, make sure we were on budget, and figure out real world things now (like theater rental, insurance, etc). Did I mention the set is all built out of cardboard...
