Lost and Found

by Laura Neill

When five “losers” band together to seek their missing possessions, they instead find each other--and a lost and found bin with tentacles. This heartfelt comedy shows grieving people finding a way forward through a combination of community and a little bit of magic.

Lost and Found

Character Information

At least two of the five roles should be played by actors of color.

Please work against colorism and sizeism in your casting.

Non-binary folks may be cast in any role they are comfortable playing, in addition to Lex.

Overall, this rehearsal room should be a home for folks who have not felt "found" by mainstream society.
