BAGS

by Jesse Jae Hoon

This play is a circle. When federal funding for food banks can only provide blocks of fortified cheese, Diana Song and Lanie set out against all the odds to feed their neighborhood. Part Lehrstück and part raucous comedy, BAGS explores the dishearteningly cyclical nature of organizing and teaches about the importance of continued engagement & the power of mutual aid.
