FULL LENGTH: Judy, an illustrator, arrives at an artist residency in the middle of a beautiful state park. It's her very first residency and she's hoping to make the most of it. She wants to work on her art, to make connections with the people she meets, to feel like she's actually an artist. But something's holding her back - whether that be the podcast about creativity she's constantly listening to, the strangely aloof park director, or a simmering tragedy she's avoiding back at home. A play about artistry, imposter syndrome, and healing that explores how we can be better to ourselves and each other.
