GET-THROUGH: A NEW PLAY

This summer, I am beginning the process of hosting several workshop readings of my new play, GET-THROUGH: In a concrete Californian skatepark, four queer teenage girls experience life after the environmental apocalypse. The girls, accompanied by their older parental figure J, figure out what it means to find joy amidst immense grief and loss. GET-THROUGH is an exploration of found family, the climate crisis, and what it means to be human in the face of mass destruction. 

​

This play was born from my own fears and anxieties surrounding the Climate Crisis: what would my life look like if everything as I knew it burnt down? If all of the institutions I found valuable, if all the little things I made out to be important and crushing were rendered meaningless by Mother Earth? What is left afterwards? My play explores this idea of the apocalypse: who might find the apocalypse better than their “before” life, and who might suffer far more grief because of it? How do we find community amidst the Climate Crisis? How do we live when we know the state of the environment is too far gone?
