Gal, Dude, and Chick have a threesome! While they're busy getting to know each other, they're learning far more about themselves. Spills is an unforgettable experience in three acts and three styles. Act one is a realistic comedy, where Gal, Dude, and Chick test their chemistry. Act two is a spectacular threesome ballet, which leaves room for a director's interpretation. Act three features audience interaction, as the performers elicit wild stories from the crowd.
This biting comedy is ideal for an intimate, site-specific venue.
Spills received its world premiere production with Who What Where Theater Collective in Washington DC, March 21-30, 2019. "Rado’s script is studded with wit. It makes twenty-something, slang-filled chit-chat sound like hella high comedy." -DC Metro Theatre Arts
