Our next production, Kiss it, Make It Better by Erika Phoebus
A coming of age story about a boy and girl who run away after their lives are brutally interrupted and their innocence shattered. Creating their own sort of Neverland amidst a crumbling fairground is the only way to survive as they hide from the past that is always lurking just behind them.

This play is about love, trauma, adolescence, and the need for a shared language to process and heal. It deals with sexual violence, PTSD, and most prominently the long lasting effects of ignorance, silence, and shame. It is an equally playful and heartbreaking look into an "unconventional" kind of love that may feel more familiar than we expect.
We believe this is an important play and a beautiful one. We're putting together an incredible artistic team, anchored by designer Joshua Rose and director Isaac Byrne who worked together on the award winning productions of The Other Mozart, Tar Baby, and In Vestments.
