Length: One-Act
Cast: 2 actors
Inspired by a love of language, writer's block, and the inability to capture an idea Walking Shadows is an absurd comedy that interrogates grief, guilt, and the consequences of broken trust.
"A psychological journey into the process of self forgiveness and letting go."
-Colleen Hammond Whitmore, Fringe Reviewer
Length: One-Act
Case: 2
In this sharp meta-comedy, a man is forced to live with his inner critic—literally—when his anxiety becomes an insufferable roommate. As their cohabitation spirals, he’s pushed into a battle for control over his own mind. Angst asks: What does it really mean to live with yourself?
"Smart, engaging, and thought-provoking, Angst is a production that stays with you long after it ends. It is a show worth seeing again."
-Dondre Tuck, LA Theatrix
"An almost irritatingly incisive, and yet hilarious, view of one’s inner monologue"
-Alberto Suarez, Fringe Reviewer
