Loosely inspired by the works of Samuel Beckett, Last Day is a satirical take on climate nihilism. Consumerism and late stage capitalism has led the earth into landfill dystopia that is no longer inhabitable. The play focuses on Barbie and Richie who are trying their best to make their last day a happy one. Technology, shopping, and visits from the delivery boy can only do so much to distract from the grim reality that today is the last one. Last Day will be part of Rhino Fest this June 3rd and 4th.

Written by The Wish Collective, The Wish is an activist play written in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

This social satire highlights five women working at the athleisure store, LaLaLea. It is a dark coming of age story that addresses toxic positivity, the pressures young women put on one another, and the poisonous side of “self-help” culture. As part of the spring Lab series at The Theatre School, Clearing will perform in late May of 2022. Read my Grappler interview to learn more about the process.

Two siblings sit on a couch and talk about death. Then, one ghost sibling and one living sibling sit in a McDonald’s bathroom talking about life. This hilariously raw play looks at the absurdity of having a body and how the people in your life can make it worth living.

A movement piece set to the music of Eryn Allen Kane, Aviary follows a young woman, Avery, struggling with addiction, depression, and love.
