In Toothache, we get to know a family of immigrants from Spain who are starting a restaurant in the US. Pilar, Carlos, and Irene. We get to know them, who they are, and what they mean to one another.
But, more prominently, we meet Vera.
We meet all of Vera. All her joys, pains, flaws, and thoughts.
Vera has a toothache.
This story is about wealth inequality, culture, family, and pain. Pain in every twisted, beautiful way. How physical pain can bring our emotional pains to front. How pain, over time, can culminate into what controls our every step, our every intention. How pain brings us to consider ourselves.
This is a play about family- both the family we are born with and the family that we choose. This play is about healthcare. This is about pain, loss, mental illness. This play is about culture. How does one single person handle the weight of pain that life can give us? Where do we find joy?

This play is filled with music and laughter, but also moments of big feelings to overcome and work though.
This play was originally devised and developed as a sensory play with Philly Children's Theatre.

In this play we follow Billie as she is faced by the micro-aggressions that come from being a woman in modern time. This play is seen through the lens of decisions made my Ruth Bader Ginsberg during her time in the US supreme court.
