About the Plays
American Fast

Directed by

Twenty-one-year-old college basketball sensation Khady Salama makes it to March Madness, only to become a flashpoint of controversy when she lies about observing the Muslim fast while competing in the tournament.
Cost of Living
by Martyna Majok
Saturday, February 3 at 3:00 pm
Co-Directed by
Stephanie Lein Walseth and Nathan R. Stenberg
Eddie, an unemployed truck driver, reunites with his ex-wife Ani after she suffers a devastating accident. John, a brilliant and witty doctoral student, hires overworked Jess as a caregiver. As their lives intersect, Majok’s play delves into the chasm between abundance and need and explores the space where bodies—abled and disabled—meet each other. (Winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.)

Saturday, February 3 at 7:30 pm
Esai’s Table is an Afro-surrealist vision play that explores the humanity of three young Black men who are being held in an ominous basement by a peculiar man who forces them to practice lines from a play that were found inside of fortune cookies.

Last Ship to Proxima Centauri
by Greg Lam

The Earth has become uninhabitable. The last escape ship from Earth (Seattle, to be exact) arrives to its new home planet centuries after all the others. The pilots are not prepared for what they find there. LAST SHIP TO PROXIMA CENTAURI asks us to examine 21st Century America through the lens of futurist neo-colonialism, 2000 years after the end of Must See TV.
