overgrown is an intergenerational ensemble play about 5 election judges who must balance their personal safety and mental well-being as they endure a 17-hour bipartisan workday with (almost) complete strangers. A pro-life lawyer father and his queer liberal daughter sign up to judge a Chicago mid-term election where they meet two kooky seasoned poll workers and one firebrand fellow election day newbie. overgrown examines who gets to choose what parts of themselves they share, and who doesn’t have a choice? How does someone who has overgrown an idea, belief, or person respond to suddenly returning to their past? And how crazy is it in this world to demand space for love, authenticity, and joy?
