Hey, you should join the conversation!
There will be a 20-minute conversation facilitated by Local Lab Co-Director Betty Hart directly following the reading.
SYNOPSIS
Ani, a struggling actor, has scored a high-paying acting gig, although it’s anything but typical. In this dystopian comedy, clients hire her to play people with whom they have unresolved issues. Being an emotional surrogate helping others work through challenges is initially rewarding, but the lines between character and human soon blur.

Land Acknowledgement
Every community owes its existence and vitality to generations from around the world that contributed their hopes, dreams and energy to making the history that led to this moment. Some of the people from the history of this spot were brought here against their will, some were drawn to leave their distant homes in hope of a better life and some have lived on this land for more generations than can be counted. Truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and connection across all barriers of heritage and difference. We begin this effort to acknowledge what has been buried by honoring the truth.
Local Theater Company acknowledges, with deep respect, that we are located on the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapaho Nations and Peoples. We pay respect to their elders both past and present. We ask that you consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration and settlement that bring us here today.
Appearing through an Agreement between Local Theater Company and Actors' Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.
