DID YOU EAT? by Zoë Kim

SYNOPSIS: an autobiographical solo show about love. It’s a play about how we learn to love, how we love, and how we love ourselves. It’s a love letter to my inner child and hopefully to yours, too

SEEKING:

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE END OF THE WORLD! by Keiko Green

SYNOPSIS: M has always had a complicated relationship with their parents. But when Greg gets a terminal diagnosis, their small family feels the pressure of time running out.

Casting Note: The playwright always envisioned the Murphys as a mixed-race family and seeks for the cast to feel like it's full of different colors, backgrounds, body shapes, etc.

SEEKING:

M - non-binary, 20. The star. Our MC. Swinging wildly between pissed and mystical, maybe mythical. Sometimes in control of the narrative, sometimes being swept away by the story.

VIV - female, 40s-50s. M's mother. The space between. Slightly neurotic and easy to get riled up, she wants with all her might to spend her last days with Greg, alone in a bed with M by their side.

ENSEMBLE A - female, 20s-30s. Greta Thunberg/Grocery Clerk, Shelly, Lila, Kathy

ENSEMBLE B - male, 20s-30s. TV Narrator, Frank, Will, Kev, Army Guy, Neighbor 1, Melomys
