Clubbed Thumb Summerworks Early Career Writers’ Group Reading. Dir. Phoebe Brooks (2024)
Puberty may be universally awkward but Sunhee is seemingly the only one in the entire universe whose adolescence comes with a full blown demon. (How unjust!!) ‘DOKKAEBI: A Work in Progress (aren’t we all?)’ is a journey into internalized racism and transphobia, as well as the external and internal experiences of…being perceived. 😬

Me does not know Korean...and does not care to learn (HARD PASS)!!!
But, unfortunately, the Lingos are here to teach and aren't about to leave Me the fuck alone with their tests, games, and KOOOREAN LESSOONS!!! Inspired structurally by Korean shamanistic folk theatre, which is non-linear and often made up of a collection of short comedic scenes, 'Me No Know Korean' is a chaotic romp that explores resistance to one's cultural connection, alienation aggravated by language barriers, and communication versus connection.
Rooting for You! - It's the Season Eight premiere of 'Sava Swerve's: The Model Detector' and Cameron is on it!!! June, Willa, and (by proximity) Sunny are hosting weekly viewing parties every week until Cameron gets cut, which, fingers crossed, is going to be the freakin' finale!
An exploration into the multiplicity of 'who we are', the social expectations put on 'girls', and personal responsibility. It's also about a modeling competition show, a fictional, completely-not-inspired-by-any-real modeling competition show.
A theatrical playground of a play that serves an entire season of 'so-bad-it's-good' reality TV embedded in the social lives of a friend group working through romance, judgment, and self-actualization.
Party @ the End of the World - It's December 21st, 2012 and the Mayan calendar has supposedly "predicted the end of the world", but what-freaking-ever, it's a perfect excuse for these high school Seniors to party! 'Party @ the End of the World' is an exploration into depression, passive suicidal ideation, having the entire world ahead of you (or not), and the power of human connection - all wrapped up in a dope-ass rager.
