MUSICAL THEATRE
HIJINX & SUE
written in collaboration with Daniel J.F. Wolfert
CAST SIZE: 7 (4 soprano/alto, 3 tenor/baritone)
RUNTIME: 2 acts, 120 minutes
SUMMARY:
Despite being abandoned by their last pilot, Hijinx, an anxious and glitchy but spirited karaoke robot, is optimistic about their new friendship with Sue, a jaded spaceship mechanic who dreams of being a Captain with the Federation.
But when a surprise inspection of the ship becomes her dream job offer, Sue is left with a dilemma–accepting the position means leaving Hijinx behind.
As they embark on an interstellar road trip, encounter a collapsing robot city, and face a deceptively idyllic virtual reality, Hijinx and Sue question their places in each other’s lives, as well as their responsibility to the broken world around them.
Maybe Happy Ending meets Futurama in this perfect next-watch for fans of Starkid Productions.

LAHAR ZONE (work in progress)
CAST SIZE: 3 F
RUNTIME: 1 Act, 75 mins
One year after the sudden death of their father, sisters Ember and Erin are once again living in their childhood home in the Puyallup Valley. While Ember prepares to reunite with her long-distance girlfriend, Erin compulsively checks the seismic activity of Mt. Rainier/Tahoma.
When Erin's monitoring indicates that a volcanic eruption could be on the way, other natural (emotional) disasters bubble to the surface and threaten to tear what's left of an already-broken family apart.
As an exploration of many kinds of grief (the death of a parent, mourning time wasted not living authentically, the knowledge that no amount of preparation can fully prevent a disaster,) Lahar Zone questions how we cope with knowing that disaster striking is never an "if," but a "when."
