Why Does This Feel Wrong?
by Miranda Brown and Noa Rui-Piin Weiss
Like a flipbook where you can swap the tops and bottoms of outfits, we mismatch dance and sonic styles, creating cursed (and ironic) mash-ups. Hope you cringe 🙂

FYP
by Adin Lenahan

FYP is a solo show inspired by the TikTok algorithm: an endless parade of contrasting voices ranging from Disney Adults to dying teenagers to haunted surfers to true crime enthusiasts to evangelists to ASMR Reiki practitioners to Nicole Kidman, all speak in no more than one minute intervals and converge to tell a story about nothing (but nothing is ever about nothing).

Written & Performed by Adin Lenahan | Directed by Daniella Caggiano

The Passion of Meredith
by Lizz Bogaard & Gabby Gillespie
There was only one cultural artifact that survived the 2023 Apocalypse: seasons 1 through 19 of Grey’s Anatomy. Taking place 4000 years later, “The Passion of Meredith” follows a community theater’s rehearsal for what has become the ancient tragedy Grey’s Anatomy – a play about the life of mythic healer Saint Meredith Grey, set to premiere at this year’s annual Festival of Meredith. And the pressure’s on, as it will be the stage debut of the long-awaited first daughter of Grey, Meredith II. All is going according to the Church’s plan, until – just 24 hours before opening night – Saint Meredith herself comes to Meredith II, compelling her to expose the injustices of her oppressive religious state.
