Sandbags

Muddy waters, hurricanes, romantic entanglements, and persistent feelings of having failed to save the world all plague a crew of dysfunctional anti-pipeline activists on the Gulf Coast.

    Sandbags is a powerful and immersive exploration of activism, relationships, and personal struggles. Myers beautifully balances the chaos of an environmental battle with deep, emotional storytelling, making us question what it means to stand firm in both our values and our lives. A gripping, thought-provoking piece!

    Sandbags hit me in a way I wasn’t expecting. It’s about a group of people fighting against a pipeline that threatens their land. But it’s not just about the fight—it’s about the people, their relationships, and what it means to stand your ground. Rosie is so connected to her land and history, while Gloria, more of an outsider, gets pulled in, giving us a way into the story. If you’re looking for a play that makes you feel something and leaves you thinking, Sandbags is worth your time.

    A memory play that features a cast of complicated characters. Love how everyone takes a turn in recounting what happens to this community and their crusade against the building of a pipeline. Love how time and reality is played with and how it's not always easy to tell what is accurate. A play that demands audiences to lean in and pay attention. Loved how the setting is used in this play. A house and its objects become a variety of locations. Hope someone produces this play.
