THEATRE

The Misery Play is a surreal, dark comedy exploring what it is like to go through life when your name is Misery. Funny and touching at the same time, this original story is full of puppet vignettes, French cafes, paper airplanes and countless suicide attempts that only resolve in epic failure.

Written by Lialia Chepulite
Directed by Brenda Huggins
Featuring Sammi Gassel, Ryan Gonor, Lindsey HR

Set Design by Chad Bianchi
Lighting and Sound Allie Herryman

Run time, approx. 50 mins
