    We still don’t know how to talk about what happened in Los Angeles on April 29, 1992, and it’s a problem. A group of semi-professional young actors come together briefly to re-enact a 'primal scene' from the Los Angeles unrest in 1992 using elements of group psychotherapy. Why don't liberals acknowledge American empire? How do the unseens of empire structure what is visible? We’re just trying to...
    We still don’t know how to talk about what happened in Los Angeles on April 29, 1992, and it’s a problem. A group of semi-professional young actors come together briefly to re-enact a 'primal scene' from the Los Angeles unrest in 1992 using elements of group psychotherapy. Why don't liberals acknowledge American empire? How do the unseens of empire structure what is visible? We’re just trying to live. To Red Tendons deals with seething anger turned inward, and a desire for reconciliation.

    In 2016, poet and activist Mark Baumer began walking barefoot across America to protest climate change. Words from his last blog entry: “If you see me at a gas station I’m probably the one sipping on a jar of salsa…we are honestly going to soon be living in the greatest mass extinction humanity has ever experienced.”

    In 2016, poet and activist Mark Baumer began walking barefoot across America to protest climate change. Words from his last blog entry: “If you see me at a gas station I’m probably the one sipping on a jar of salsa…we are honestly going to soon be living in the greatest mass extinction humanity has ever experienced.”

    protest explores the conflict of having a conscience and a body. Catherine walks barefoot from Providence, Rhode Island to Perris, California updating her video blog daily, beset by online trolls, swollen feet, too many bananas, boredom, laughter, poverty, crying. A good tip: stay on the painted white line when walking on the road barefoot, it’s cooler and smoother.

    A couple share a studio in Brooklyn; both are let go from their jobs but they keep the news from each other.
    Maya gets into ASMR—a community of people who record videos of themselves doing mundane things because it soothes people's anxieties. David an amateur carpenter and professional coder, is building an AI-driven robot that judges how politically progressive or problematic a romantic couple is based on their race.
    The Whispering Community gets back at this question of art's purposelessness and what occupies us when we're not at work.

    Paul, korean-american and adjunct lecturer in the english department, is despondent at the state of his career and profession. He starts moonlighting a second and ethically dubious job so he can pay rent—except it totally backfires when he confronts the issues surrounding the only student in color in his class.

    Paul, korean-american and adjunct lecturer in the english department, is despondent at the state of his career and profession. He starts moonlighting a second and ethically dubious job so he can pay rent—except it totally backfires when he confronts the issues surrounding the only student in color in his class. Scandal is a 'campus' play about what is left of 'higher learning' in higher learning and the strange personalities of professors and administrators in charge.
