ChuckEology

by Bailey Jordan Garcia

100 years from now, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the teens who quarantined themselves inside the Chuck E Cheese they worked at, still quarantined, have turned the play space into a home, sanctuary, and a church. But, their religion is challenged when a member brings some information about the outside world.

ChuckEology

    As a parent who was always a little bit creeped out inside a Chuck E. Cheese, I was truly mesmerized by the cultish nightmare of Bailey Jordan Garcia’s compelling allegory, shockingly played out in ten minutes. Just the idea of spending a time-out in the ticket blaster is terrifying enough, but the image of Chuck E.’s smiling mouse face shining down while awful sounds are left to the imagination was bone chilling. Amazing play!

    I'm in awe of the world Garcia is able to create in just 10 minutes. I'm really anxious to see what a team of artists can do with this play.
