"Power Play" invites audiences to witness the raw vulnerability of artists as they grapple with identity, ambition, and the pursuit of truth. With humor, heart, and unexpected plot twists, this play leaves an indelible mark—a call to embrace our imperfections and rewrite our narratives.

This play confronts college theater (and the professional environment we're asking students to participate in) by looking at fat body politics in action and the ways in which we ask fat bodies to be smaller. But it doesn't just wallow in sadness like a lot of our media. No, it's funny and dark and honest, and gives every character so much to do, allowing everyone to examine how we all participate in fatphobia. It's a play I wish had existed when I was in undergrad.

Y'all, this PLAY. I attended a reading of the play at The Lanford Wilson Festival, a festival of new plays for college-aged actors, and it absolutely brought down the house. It's funny and full of heart and deeply relatable and bold, full of non-normative body virtuosity.
