Wasted
Written by Kae Tempest
Directed by Jaelyn Silvey and Jess Lee
June 20-22 & 27-29
Wasted tells the story of three friends adrift in the world, trying to figure out how to grieve, how to live, and how to love in a world full of anguish, fatigue, and heartbreak. We find our main trio, Danny, Ted, and Charlotte, mourning the loss of their friend Tony on the anniversary of his death. Over the course of one night, we witness decisions being made and unmade, grief lived out loud, and getting wasted both literally and metaphorically. This insightful piece of theater brings together the acting talent of Eli Boyd, Emma Rathe, Lisa Garcia, Taylor Laird, Katie Mangett, and Nathaniel McClaflin under the direction of Jaelyn Silvey and Jess Lee.
Recommended for ages 16+. There is adult language and heavy drug and alcohol use.
